[stringtemplate-interest] $elseif$ not included?

[FrankHarper.10118606 at bloglines.com]

In my templates I find that every once in a while I would like to use
something
like this

$if(attrib1)$
... attrib1 case
$elseif(attrib2)$
... attrib2
case
$else$
... default case
$endif$

But since there doesn't appear
to be an $elseif$ in ST, I resort to
the following more verbose version:


$if(attrib1)$
... attrib1 case
$else$
 $if(attrib2)$
 ... attrib2 case

 $else$
 ... default case
 $endif$
$endif$

I'm wondering if there's
a good reason for not including an $elseif$
in ST? Or is it just a feature
that hasn't been added yet?

Cheers,
 Frank
