[PHP-DEV] Inline switch as alternative to nested inline conditional

[David Rodrigues]

Hello. I like to suggests a discussion about a FR to make possible to
inline switch, as an alternative to nested inline conditionals.

$value = switch (expr()) {
    case A1: return A2;
    case B1: return B2;
    default: return C;
}

Instead of:

$expr = expr();
$value = $expr == A1 ? A2 : ( $expr == B1 ? B2 : C );

Just a discussion to check what do you think.
