Thanks, Jim. (Clipka's Change 4942 is quoted verbatim in the WIKI, I believe.)

So, just so I understand POV's *current* behavior (beta 39): The need for a
#break before #else is *no longer* necessary to avoid the 'cascading
TRUE behavior? I.e., (as a simple analogy) does #else now have an 'implied'
#break before it? Sorry, I'm still having a bit of trouble understanding change
4942 if there's NO #break before an #else.

I guess one easy way to find out would be to run my 'missing #break before
#else' code test in beta 39, to see what happens. Could..uh..someone do that?
:-)
