I think what retard was asking was what types are legal as the argument for a switch?

IIRC the list is: all the arithmetic types and the string types.

The value pattern matching that is being asked for would allow just about anything that has a compile time literal syntax:

void fn(int[] ar)
{
  switch(ar)
  {
     case [1,2,3]: ... break;
     case [1,2,4]: ... break;
     case [1,3,2]: ... break;
  }

}

I've thought more than once about adding that, but it just seems pointless. I've never run into a use case for it. If you do run into one,

    if (ar == [1,2,3]) ...
    else if (ar == [1,2,4]) ...
    else if (ar == [1,3,2]) ...

will work just fine.
