Hello friends,

I recently discovered the U++ framework and I am having great success using it. I would like to sincerely thank the developers for all the hard work.

One recurring issue I have noticed while examining some code constructs like for example 'CodeEditor.cpp' is that all code does not make use of [else if] statements. For example, let us consider this piece of code from the previously mentioned cpp file:
-----------------------------------------------------

if(IsSelection() && auto_enclose) {
	if(code == '(') {
		Enclose("(", ")");
		return true;
	}
	if(code == '{') {
		Enclose("{", "}");
		return true;
	}
	if(code == '[') {
		Enclose("[", "]");
		return true;
	}
}

// MODERATOR: use code tag four source code.
-----------------------------------------------------
I am a novice programmer, and I am of the opinion that if we used [else if] statements for the 2nd and 3rd [if] cases, we would be able to save some processing power no matter how minute.
I understand that more experienced programmers like yourselves already know about this concept. That leads me to believe that this was done for some other reason. I would very much appreciate it if you would help me understand as to why this was done so that I am able to learn from you.

Thank you kindly,
Amin
