I'm just going to interject here.
I don't understand why anyone sees the need to limit the switch construct in
any way. Why force it to use compile-time values? Why force it to support
primitives only?
A full-blown, generalized switch would greatly improve D's expressiveness, and
would cater to functional programmers. Functional languages have shown that
pattern matching (which is essentially just a generalized switch, or -- as I
like to call it -- switch done *right*) is extremely useful to write short and
concise code, especially the ML family of languages (SML, OCaml, F#, etc).
