In the documentation I'm working on, I classify "if", "break" and
maybe a few others as syntax, not directives.  Modules, static/dyamic,
etc. - all good for developer documentation, but (in general)
unnecessary detail for user-oriented documentation.  So documentation
of "if" will go with documentation of the language syntax - block
structure, statement syntax, etc.  A minor annotation will note the
implementation module.
