It's the syntactic sugars job to beautify the ugly. And your example is also a bit unfair, because you also use another syntactic sugar, the elif, to make it more beautyful. It only falls back to the ugly solution because I can't sweeten sugar for a similar dish. But the overall question is: when is the sugar just syntactical, and at what point does it become a complete new taste?
