DoAndIfThenElse

[Brandon Allbery]

Huh. I wonder if a section went missing; seems like none of the extensions
that alter or relax layout are documented currently.
(AlternativeLayoutRule, AlternativeLayoutRuleTransitional, DoAndIfThenElse,
NondecreasingIndentation, RelaxedLayout)

IIRC DoAndIfThenElse relaxes a condition implied by layout but that
normally only matters in "do": that if you break it into multiple lines,
the "then" and "else" must be indented farther than the "if" or layout will
consider them distinct new expressions (and thereby syntax errors).
