Those are:
  for
  select
  while
  repeat
  if
  case

Does anyone disagree that Philippe's examples demonstrate that "if"
and "case" should get this treatment?

More questionable are the looping constructs.  I can't come up with a
way to have the loop end in an error state without the whole shell
ERREXITing before reaching the end of the loop body.  The value of
this_noerrexit matters at all, as far as I can tell, only to suppress
the false-condition that ends a "while" loop, and is meaningless in
for/select/repeat?
