Bug description:  Always associate "else:" followed by colon to an "if:" 
followed by colon

Description:
------------
In case of ambiguity, the statements "else" and "elseif" are always 
associated to the last previous "if" or "elseif". This rule is not 
convenable when the else/elseif is followed by a colon and the last 
previous if/elseif is not.

Reproduce code:
---------------
if(foo):
    // some code here
    if (bar) baz;
else:
    // some code here
endif;

Expected result:
----------------
Since the "else" is followed by a colon (:), it can be associated 
*unambiguously* with the last "if" followed by a colon (here, 
"if(foo):"), and not with the last "if" (here, "if(bar)").


Actual result:
--------------
Parse error. The "else" is associated with the last "if", and the 
following ":" is unexpected.
