Type: Feature
State: New

Transform switch() back to it's old behaviour.

Implement select() { case... } with the following changes:

 - ints, floats, symbols, #'symbols, strings are
   allowed as values.
 - runtime error if no match is found (read: default required)
 - Allow typenames as labels: 'case object:'
TagsNo tags attached.

What was the old behaviour of switch()? BTW: I don't think it is a wise thing to change the behaviour of switch() nowadays.
Typenames as labels could be done by a switch(typeof(a)) { }, although that is probably not what was suggested here...
