When doing common functionality for a switch, is there any way to optimize:
switch(x)
{
case X:
q.X = e;
break;
case Y:
q.Y = e;
break
etc...
}
e is basically a value that, depending on the what kind(x), we assign it
to a field in q. The name of the field and the case label are
identical(in fact, it wouldn't hurt to do it either automatically(if x's
enum name, if exists, matches a field, auto assign) or create the field
in the class q automatically if the label matches a certain range or set).
Basically the idea is to avoid duplicating a lot of code.
I imagine one could write a string mixin that generates the cases and
assignments but I'm hoping for a more elegant solution.
Sounds like opDispatch may be useful.
