    - #### public boolean isCase(Object switchValue)

      'Case' implementation for the Pattern class, which allows testing a String against a number of regular expressions. For example:

          switch( str ) {
            case ~/one/ :
              // the regex 'one' matches the value of str
          }

      Note that this returns true for the case where both the pattern and the 'switch' values are `null`.
      Parameters:
        `switchValue` - the switch value
      Returns:
        true if the switchValue is deemed to match the caseValue
