Description
We should add control flow statements so that the following is valid
```
let mut x = 5;
if y > 0 { x = 3; }
elsif y < 0 { x = 4; }
else { x = 2; }
```
Maybe we should allow control flow to be an expression like it is in Rust? We can defer that.

Research direction
A merged pull request (#132) is already linked to this issue. If revisiting the work, start by surveying the lexer and parser, then trace how statements reach the interpreter, JIT, AOT compiler, and runtime; the sample should parse and execute its if/elsif/else branches with the expression form remaining deferred.
