I've observed this pattern in FreeBSD startup (shell) scripts.
I do realize that shell is not perl, but nevertheless the style
still baffles me, I cannot decide whether this is extraordinary
stupidity or extraordinary wisdom :)
F.ex., /etc/rc.firewall on 6.2-stable has this:
case ${firewall_type} in
[Oo][Pp][Ee][Nn]|[Cc][Ll][Ii][Ee][Nn][Tt])
case ${natd_enable} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
