Well, that’s a dumb feature. Very counterintuitive, requires you to stop and think, and there’s a high probability that it’ll be misunderstood at first glance. I hate things like this - you’ll read it, think you understand it, experience a bug, spend hours debugging, then finally look up the documentation for ‘else’ and see that it means something different from what you thought.
