Comment(by felix):

 I think multiple `else` clauses should be allowed which makes it easier to
 provide default clauses in macros that expand to `cond` or `case`. But I
 have added checks in `cond`, `case`, and `select` that will issue a
 warning when a non-else clause follows an else-clause and all clauses are
 checked for being syntactically correct (formerly the clauses after the
 first `else` were just dropped). Perhaps that is an acceptable compromise.
 If yes, please close the ticket.

 See commit b9d091df90f6092573eaf36c22436daa7ef2085f (experimental)
