I understood that some form of this translation is already implemented
for the while syntax. I assumed it would be easy to do the same for the
if statement as well.
It is not particularly interesting for me, but I feel that introducing
two different if statements could cause lots of confusion in the future.
Thus I thought instead of introducing a second 'if' statement we could
extend the current one such that it fulfilles the request. I could not
imagine lots of cases where the old behaviour would be changed by that
except by mistake anyway. And if there are really a few of those cases,
it might be worth adjusting them if we could avoid two different if
statements in the future.
