Condition for "/execute" command

While the "execute" command contains many helpful conditions when making maps/datapacks, the condition
"else" should be added to make it so players can easily run a command if  a certain criteria isn't met.
An example of this would be
"/execute as @e[tag=player1,nbt={Scores={Hello=1}] at @s if block ~ ~-1 ~ emerald_block run 
  say Hello World! else run say there is no emerald block"
the else condition can be used with all the other conditions in the game, but only a max of 5 will be allowed per command.
Ie. execute if block ~ ~ ~ stone run say hi else : if
                                                                            run
                                                                            store
                                                                            positioned
                                                                            unless
                                                                           etc...

    You could always use an ! to signify that you don't want those conditions(in a separate command block),

    for example: tag=!player1 .

    Although I agree with the previous comments that the ELSE-Subcommand often can be substituted by just another command, I think it would enhance readability and make scripts in mcfunction files easier to understand, and also would reduce the need of an additional command block in situations where space is very limited and command blocks can't be chained by placing them next to each other. Also every command block saved is a plus, in my opinion, since complicated mechanisms with a lot of command blocks are hard to maintain or change, especially since you can't overlook the whole "script" at once like you could in a mcfunction file.
