Why do you call failures in understanding things like this better, Stef? Whoever writes such statements, has no idea about an object's value versus a block's value and especially no idea about when and why execution of a block of code can and should be delayed (not to speak about performance impact).

I would like to see caseOf:...removed from the system

And replace it by what? Why would you limit the expressive power of the software developer, Stef?
