else if causes unhelpful parsing error in 0.73.0 when condition has an issue #7575
Description
Describe the bug
Nu 0.73.0 needs an improved error message when parsing if-else-if. See also Discord help chat on 22 Dec 2022.
How to reproduce
〉 if true { 'one' } else if $a { 'two' } else if $a { 'three' }
Error: nu::parser::parser_incomplete (link)
× Parser incomplete.
╭─[entry #3:1:1]
1 │ if true { 'one' } else if $a { 'two' } else if $a { 'three' }
· ─┬
· ╰── parser support missing for this expression
╰────
Expected behavior
If a syntax error prevents parsing of the if-else, surfacing that error is necessary to resolve any issues. This is particularly true when we encounter breaking changes on upgrade.
