What about simplifying if-else statements ?

Yes, but that's nimpretty's job! ;-)

For sections of code you can disable nimpretty:
    
    
    #!nimpretty off
    
    if   a(0): # whatever
    elif a(4): # whatever
    elif a(8): # whatever
    else:      # whatever
    
    #!nimpretty on
    
    
    Run
