+ * Conditionally creates and destroys elements based on condition signals with support for else if and else.
+ *
+ * @description This function creates conditional rendering with support for multiple conditions (if/else if/else pattern).
+ * It evaluates conditions in order and renders the first matching condition's element.
+ * The function maintains full reactivity with signals and ensures proper cleanup of elements.
+ *
+ * @param {Signal<boolean> | boolean | (() => boolean)} condition - A signal, boolean, or function that determines whether to create an element.
+ * @param {Function} createElementFn - A function that returns an element or a promise that resolves to an element.
+ * @param {...Array} additionalConditions - Additional conditions for else if and else cases.
+ *   Can be:
+ *   - A function for else case: `() => Element | Promise<Element>`
+ *   - An array for else if case: `[Signal<boolean> | boolean | (() => boolean), () => Element | Promise<Element>]`
+ * @returns {Observable} An observable that emits the created element based on the matching condition.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * ```typescript
+ * // Simple if/else
+ * cond(
+ *   signal(isVisible),
+ *   () => h(Container),
+ *   () => h(Text, { text: 'Hidden' }) // else
+ * );
+ *
+ * // Multiple else if + else
+ * cond(
+ *   signal(status === 'loading'),
+ *   () => h(LoadingSpinner),
+ *   [signal(status === 'error'), () => h(ErrorMessage)], // else if
+ *   [signal(status === 'success'), () => h(SuccessMessage)], // else if
+ *   () => h(DefaultMessage) // else
+ * );
