I don't think the proposed syntax really fits with what the word "or" means. 

if x then
  ...
orif y then
  ...
end

is (effectively) equivalent to

if x then
  ...
end
if x or y then
  ...
end

but x only gets evaluated (and typed) once.
every way to describe this feature, you'll end up using "or" or even "or if" somewhere, be that in code or in english. see also the subject line of this email.

    I'd like to have the ability to convert, say:

    switch (op) {
    case OP_TAILCALL: {
       ...
       /*fallthrough*/
    }
    case OP_CALL: {
       ...
       break;
    }
    }

    into:

    if op == OP_TAILCALL then
       ...
       -- fallthrough
    orif op == OP_CALL then
       ...
    end

    because it looks nicer this way I guess.
