I'm missing the distinction.   Other than just removing the one line that
says "select" at the top, it doesn't seem like its changing anything:

select
when x=y
  do stuff
    when x>y
       do other stuff
         when x<y
           do another type of stuff
endsl

Remember, you said that having an "elseif" was going to eliminate a lot
of nesting.  Again, unless I misunderstand what you mean, here, I don't
see how its any different from the existing select/when group.
