Denise, please note that I did not say it could not be done with if-else chain,

Some of the valid reason: 1) Less key stroke 2) Easier code generator to implement ( switch case can be processed by awk like script with marker like 'case' and 'break'.
did you see the string mixin feature before? http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/mixin.html no outer (parsing) generator needed anymore (with small exceptions) :)
