else tag expressions

[jg-rp]

Unlike {% if <expression> %} and {% elsif <expression> %}, {% else %} does not expect an expression (obviously). With Shopify/Liquid, anything between else and the closing tag delimiter (%}) is silently ignored, even in strict mode.

{% if false %}1{% else nonsense %}2{% endif %}

Expected output

2

With the same template, Python Liquid will output nonsense2, treating nonsense as part of the else block.
