:D That just gives reason not to use ... for a separator. I love it. I can definitely see this as a misguided step for a new user. "A case range can be used like: switch (i) { case 1: .. case 3: x = 4; break; }" And the resulting code by the new user: switch (i) { case 1: case 2: case 3: x = 4; break; }
