 ### defer
 
-`defer expr;` or `defer { statements }` runs code when the enclosing block ends: after the last statement, and also on `return`, `break` and `continue` out of it. defers in a block run last registered first. the deferred code is compiled at each exit, so it sees the variables as they are when it runs, and `return e;` computes `e` before any defer runs. `defer rt.free(p);` hands the owner `p` over at that point: `p` stays usable until the block ends and is not freed twice. `return`, `break` and `continue` are not allowed inside a deferred statement.

 ### 4.14 defer
 
-4.14.1 `defer expr;` and `defer { statements }` register a statement that runs when the block that contains the `defer` ends. the tokens are kept, not compiled, at the `defer`; the compiler compiles them again, in place, at every point where control leaves the block: the end of the block, and a `return`, `break` or `continue` that leaves it. (a function body is a block; so are a loop or `if` body, a `switch` case and a block expression.) the code is therefore duplicated at each exit.
+4.14.1 `defer` followed by one statement (`defer expr;`, `defer { statements }`, `defer if (c) a; else b;`, a loop, a `switch`, or an `unchecked` or `unbounded` statement) registers that statement; it runs when the block that contains the `defer` ends. the tokens are kept, not compiled, at the `defer`; the compiler compiles them again, in place, at every point where control leaves the block: the end of the block, and a `return`, `break` or `continue` that leaves it. (a function body is a block; so are a loop or `if` body, a `switch` case and a block expression.) the code is therefore duplicated at each exit.
 
 4.14.2 several defers in one block run in reverse order of registration. an early exit runs the defers of every block it leaves, innermost block first, and within a block newest first. `return` runs those of the whole function, `break` and `continue` only those inside the loop or switch they leave.
