+ *	 discard;
+ *	 s2;
+ *    } else {

+ *
+ * becomes:
+ *
+ *    discard
+ *
+ * Case 2: The "then" clause contains an unconditional discard:
+ * ------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ *    if (cond) {
+ *       s1;
+ *       discard;
+ *       s2;

+ * becomes:
+ *
+ *    if (cond) {
+ *	 discard;
+ *    } else {
+ *	 s3;
+ *    }
+ *
+ * Case 3: The "else" clause contains an unconditional discard:
+ * ------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ *    if (cond) {
