I feel I am, and I'll have enough time until 2.6 anyway.
However, I first want to know that the syntax and semantics have been
properly discussed and fixed.

One thing I like to propose which could resolve the ambiguity of
"case 1,2,3:" is:

switch x:
   case (1, 2, 3):
      # if x is the tuple (1,2,3)
   case in 1, 2, 3:
      # if x is 1, 2 or 3
