First of all thanks.

I think part of switch expansion moved to switch-conversion some time ago
(emit_case_bit_tests).  So maybe the full lowering should be in at least
the same source file and it should maybe applied earlier for a subset of
cases (very low number of cases for example).

Did you base the code on the RTL expansion code or did you re-write it from
scratch?

No further comments sofar.
