Re: switch s/statement/operator/

[GregLondon]

Now, just to mess with your head a bit....   ;)

could a case operator be overloadable?
I know the conditional operator currently cannot be overloaded,
but it seems it should be possible. difficulty is another thing though.

I had considered this, but didn't put this in because no other
Perl control statements return a value. Personally, I like the
notion a great deal.

What the heck, I'll add it to the next iteration of the RFC. :-)
