A bit unclear error message in case of nested ifs without braces

[dee0xeed]

Zig Version

0.10.1

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Output

Compile this:

// ifif.zig
pub fn main() void {
    var a: u32 = 7;
    var b: u32 = 8;
    var c: u32 = 9;

    if (a < b)
        if (b < c)
            a += 1;
}

Error message:

$ /opt/zig-0.10.1/zig build-exe ifif.zig 
ifif.zig:8:9: error: invalid left-hand side to assignment
        if (b < c)
        ^~

Expected Output

This can be fixed by putting braces for first if.
Maybe, error message should tell exactly about missing braces?..

Yeah, you're right and the error message needs to be more friendly.

The doc https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#if shows we need braces.
