Hmm, this is rather nice. I can imagine possible use cases for
switch x:
case > 3: foo(x)
case is y: spam(x)
case == z: eggs(x)
An interesting use case for which this offers no corresponding
syntax is
case instanceof ClassA: ham(x)
which doesn't work because Python spells a type test as
isinstance(a, b) rather than with an operator. (I suppose
whether we want it to be an operator might be another
question to think about for Python 3000.)
