Tony, you should think about it in a different way. Think about it as a poor mans switch because Nix doesn't have it. Why was switch invented? if a = 10 print "a is 10" else if a = 20 print "a is 20" else if ... Which is the repeating pattern? a = How can you avoid writing it? switch a of 10: print "a is 10"; [break] 20: print "a is 20"; [break] Do you consider this being way, way too complicated as well? And I'd even say its easier to read. But that's my point of view.
