<pseudo ooeucode>
function demo(sequence case)
goto case
return "0" -- :"case" target not found!
:"1"
-- code
goto eofunct
:"blah"
-- code
return "something"
:"transformer"
:"bot"
:"minsky"
:"robot"
:"borg"
:"Number 5"
-- try doing 6 targets at once like that with case!
return "it's alive!"
:eofunct
-- more code if you like
return ""
end function
</pseudo ooeucode>
