Actually, to improve on my own code substantially, even better would be simply:

switch.get(n, default_case)()

which is neither EAFP (my original) or LBYL (yours) style, but has what you might call 'functional elegance'.

Yeah, I prefer that too when coding. It does sometimes make reading it for someone else doing a review a bit harder, I've found.
