Re: switch does not recognise Class?

Paul, thanks again! Possibly (I am not entirely sure, but what do you think?) it might be better if the switch explanation was somewhat re-formulated, something like “ Switch supports — among others — the following kinds of comparisons (see please [the isCase operator](link) for a full list):”

Re: switch does not recognise Class?
