Description:

this does work

create function fails( a int) returns int language plpgsql as $$ begin
if CASE when a = 1 then true else false END
then return 1; else return 0; end if ;
end $$;

parentheses can make it work.

create function fails_not( a int) returns int language plpgsql as $$ begin
if ( CASE when a = 1 then true else false END )
then return 1; else return 0; end if ;
end $$;

It seems to be the plpgsql parser not treating the CASE-END as atomic when
looking for the end of the IF xpression.
