[docs] [issue28976] incorrect description that dose not conform to the actual behavior

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Because the documentation is correct.  There is no bug here.  As Brendan said, there is no need to repeat a fundamental (that statements can raise exceptions) in this context.  The point of the passage is that

  if x: a; b; c;

is equivalent to

  if x:
     a
     b
     c

not

  if x: a
  b
  c

And that is what it clearly says, in my opinion.  The language reference is a specification and not a tutorial, so more words here would not be a good idea.
