I don't particularly like what looks like an attempt to shove together too many different features into a single package. Raymond's proposal gives Python the switch statement people have been demanding while leaving room for the improvements that have been suggested over a plain switch. Phillip's point about longs and Unicode is valid, but easily addressed by limiting cases to "hashable literal" (though we might want to explicitly exclude floats). -- Aahz (aahz at pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "I saw `cout' being shifted "Hello world" times to the left and stopped right there." --Steve Gonedes
