If statement with too many branches

Reports if statements with too many branches. Such statements may be confusing, and are often the sign of inadequate levels of design abstraction.

Example:

if (a) { print "foo" } else if (b) { print "bar" } else if (c) { print "baz" } else if (d) { print "Too many branches" }

Use the Maximum number of branches field to specify the maximum number of branches expected.
