Follow-up Comment #2, patch #4949 (project freeciv):
If your var is one of the "specenum" thingies used here, and you optimize for
size, the machine code should be a jump table to the function calls.
20 years old observation, the point being, a compiled switch does not
necessarily compare cases sequentially. Code intended for debugging could do
this, and Emmet's suggestion would be independent of compiler options. (This
old report was linked in bug #22944 about freeciv_web optimizations after
2.5.)
