[New-bugs-announce] [issue45759] `elif` inside `if` block is a `SyntaxError`

[theeshallnotknowethme]

New submission from theeshallnotknowethme <nohackingofkrowten at gmail.com>:

While fixing errors in a program, I encountered this:

if a == b + 2:
    c = sqrt(b) + a**2
    elif a == b + 3:
    ^^^^
SyntaxError: Invalid syntax

It should be giving an `IndentationError` or a better error message at least.
