The semantics are particularly 15 rich, allowing any one (or more) of nearly 30 forms of matching to 16 be used when comparing a switch value with its various cases. 17 18AUTHOR 19 Damian Conway (damian@conway.org) 20 Maintained by Rafael Garcia-Suarez (rgarciasuarez@free.fr) 21 22COPYRIGHT 23 Copyright (c) 1997-2003, Damian Conway.
