Hi all, is there a specific reason why nested blocks in switch statements are not supported ? It can be very useful if you want to jump into the middle of the first iteration of a loop (like fetching rows from a result set where the first row might or might not be already present) Eg. switch ($i) { case 0: do { // iteration default: } while ( /* some condition */ ); } -- Ard
