We had switch switches before (and acknowledged their infinite nature)
and we're saved in reporting by the fact that other than the top set,
they're all in default:
That officer's (weekly, if not specified
otherwise) report includes the value of each instance of that
switch whose value is not its default value;
That said, I've since thought of better ways to do this, but I wanted
to share my lovely prose :P
