Instead of checking for an ancestor that is an if stmt, maybe you could check if node has a parent that is an if stmt where the elseStmt (`hasElse`) equals the bound node (`equalsBoundNode`) of the previously bound `if`  

 I think that `bugprone-BranchCloneCheck` is doing something similar. Please have a look.
