I like this change.  It means you could write:

	<%if foo:%>
		FOO
	<%end%>
	<%else:%>
		BAR
	<%end%>

instead of having to munge the end and the else together on one line.

But even with this change, we need to very clearly show an example in the
documentation -- right now, it's not obvious how to get it to work.

This also applies to try/except and try/finally so it would be good to
mention those in the docs along with if/else.
