It's a little odd that an empty if-section still returns a reject, i.e.
if (1) {

Yes... it's a limitation of the underlying assumptions.

That's just like in previos versions, so it's no change of behaviour.
The only use-case for that I can think of is some kind of autogenerating
config system where someone uses $INCLUDE in an if-block. If the
included file happens to be empty, the result might be a little
surprising, and "surprising" is nothing you want in your system :)
In v3, blocks which are never evaluated are silently deleted:

	...
	if (0) {
		blah1
		blah2
		blah3
	}
	...

  The entire "if" section will disappear from the running server, as if
it never existed.
