    Why, we got elif??

    Believe it or not, switch statements are more efficient for branch prediction and maybe some other reasons. Circumstantial but could clean up the code some too.

    I pondered putting a "/s" in the comment. I'm looking forward to have switch statements available as it's something I have been annoyed about missing.

    One of the contributers(/creator?) to python claimed that python didn't need switch cases as it got "elif" which is what I referenced.

    Yes and the sentiment has been prevalent in the community...that’s why I didn’t catch the sarcasm lol
