+///Find conditions where if and else branch are functionally

+// There can be false positives in cases where the positional
+// information is used (as with lockdep) or where the identity
+// is a placeholder for not yet handled cases.
+// Unfortunately there also seems to be a tendency to use
+// the last if else/else as a "default behavior" - which some
+// might consider a legitimate coding pattern. From discussion
+// on kernelnewbies though it seems that this is not really an
+// accepted pattern and if at all it would need to be commented
+//
+// In the Linux kernel it does not seem to actually report
+// false positives except for those that were documented as
+// being intentional.
+// the two known cases are:
