Even though I'm not sure I like the switch idea (and I won't even contemplate

switch type(x):
case int:
do something
case string:
do something else
this would be a nice point to hook into for something that tries to compile
Python to C or somesuch.
Hmm, you would probably need a tuple-based switch as well:
