This construct has been implemented in v4.0 and I'm doing some extensive testing
with it. It works very well and makes code look a lot cleaner.
eg.

   switch upper(SOMEVAL) do
       case "ME":
       case "MYSELF":
       case "I":
              foo()
              exit

       case "YOU":
       case "THEM":
             bar()              
             -- fall thru

       case "HE":
       case "SHE":
             qwerty()
            exit

       case else:
             default()

    end switch
