I agree with the usage based on it already being reserved and used differently per-context. Additionally, the syntax feels natural and expresses intent well-enough. All that said, I feel that some form of strict-switch would be more immediately applicable to a wider audience. In that regard, I prefer the keyword approach "strict switch (...) { ... }" rather than using an additional parameter "switch($x, true)". -- Dustin Wheeler | Software Developer NC State University mdwheele@ncsu.edu "If you don't know where you're going, it's easy to iteratively not get there."
