Their best solution to beat the 'ordinal type' limitation of the case statement
is to extend the compiler to produce parse trees using cascaded 'if-else' as
the non-ordinal implementation of case.  Since delphi doesn't have the
fall-through case features of the C switch statement there's no semantic
difference - all case elements are required to be constants so there's no issue
with order of evaluation or evaluation at all...
