Is the problem too many switch cases on the page, or just too many
switch cases in any one switch? Does that proposed limit mean that 100
uses of a template with 20 #switch cases will break, too? Will the limit
count {{#switch:{{{1}}}|a|b|c=foo}} as 1 or 3 cases?
And will the obvious on-wiki fix of using nested #ifs just make things worse?
