Description
Reported by @Dani-Hub: We currently use different placements for "otherwise" in itemizations, namely
- does x if foo,
- otherwise does y if bar,
- otherwise does z.
compared to:
- does x if foo, otherwise
- does y if bar, otherwise
- does z.
The first style ("leading-otherwise") seems more popular (?) than the second ("trailing-otherwise"), though I haven't actually counted. If we prefer one style, we should record that in the wiki and fix up the deviant cases.
