I'm wondering, was there ever a great language feature which came out
of a mailing list discussion? Not sarcastic, just genuinely
interested.
My vote is for David Given's suggestion:
match k
with 10, 11 then return 1 end
with 12 then return 2 end
with i if 13<=i and i<=16 then return 4 end
end
It's understood to involve just linear chains of elseifs ;)
