A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

can the <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/grammar.html> rule for `ifExpression` be changed from
```'if' '(' expression ')' (controlStructureBody | (controlStructureBody? ';'? 'else' (controlStructureBody | ';')) | ';')```
to
```'if' '(' expression ')' (controlStructureBody | (controlStructureBody? ';'? 'else' (ifExpression | controlStructureBody | ';')) | ';')```
or some other equivalent change, to make
```if (…) { … } else if (…) { … } else { … } ?: …```
parse like
```(if (…) { … } else if (…) { … } else { … }) ?: …```
rather than the current unintuitive
```if (…) { … } else (if (…) { … } else { … } ?: …)```
?

1. This will be dramatic breaking change, which can change behavior of lots of existing code
2. It's better to use `when` in such cases
So no, it can not

I realize it's a breaking change and `when` works better (as I recommended in the linked thread), but any existing code relying on this is likely confused

at the very least I believe it should be a warning (which would be the first step to making such a change anyway)
