| Whether it works to use the alias switch=case is a different thing.

No, you'd need that if you wanted to be able to do
alias case=whatever
but that's entirely different (and non-POSIX).
| "bash" does not seem to do this.
bash handles the "alias case=switch" just fine in general, it is just
its command substitution parser (when unquoted) which is not quite up
to the task (bash uses yacc (or bison)).
