@Bill: 'alius' question

QUICKREF says:

alius                             - if the last bracket-group succeeded, ALIUS
                                    skips to end of {} block (a skip, not a
                                    FAIL); if the prior group FAILed,
                                    ALIUS does nothing.  Thus, ALIUS is both
                                    an ELSE clause and a CASE statement.


Given code like this:

{
 {
  a
 }
 alius
 {
  b
 }
 c
}
d

the question is:

given a successful 'a', alius will skip. Should it skip to 'c' or 'd'?


To me, the definition in QUICKREF is a little ambiguous. Some existing
code (mail*.crm) suggests 'skip to c' i.e. 'skip the subsequent
curly-braces block', but since I have been fiddling with the compiler
to make it validate scripts in more detail like a good compiler
should, I want to be absolutely sure what the original intent was:

skip to c or d?
