I have a little suggestion: If julia is going to have switch, could we make it a bit better?
Basically the switch would take two parameters :* function* and* variable*. On each case it would would call the function with those two params, and if the functions would return true, it would evaluate the case block. Note: the function has to return *boolean*. Example function divides(a, b) return a % b == 0 end input = 119 switch(divides, input) case 2 # this can be translated as ~ if(divides(input, 2)) case 3 # 3 divides input without remainder case 5 # 5 divides input without remainder case 7 # 7 divides input without remainder end Of course you could achieve the default switch behavior like this: switch(==, input) ... What do you think about it?
