What in the simple methodology combined with Damian's switch monster,
is missing?

I'll hazard a guess that, if the complex syntax goes in and if there
is no semantic issue, -internals will likely convert the complex
version internally to a switch.

So is it syntactical sugar or something that can't be done otherwise?
