My front-ends I do in python. It doesn't have a case/select. I just
use if/then/elif/....
Then there's Fortran with computed gotos; very slick. I forget the
syntax but is something like goto (10+choice)
11 ch1()
...
12 ch2()
...
13 ch3()
...
It means that only one computation takes place instead of one comparison
for each choice until one matches.
