I was thinking about something different - to split a long list into a tree
of "sub-templates", and to use upper templates to select the right one
sub-template. This would avoid parsing of a single, heavy template, but has
the disadvantage of multiple calls to much smaller templates.(one for each
level); so, if basic #switch is unexpectably fast, I don't see a sound
reason to add complexity to the code.
