I don't particularly like duplicating the THEN clause multiple times.
I think if we're going to do this we should do it right, and that
means a substantially larger patch to propagate the notion of multiple
comparison values all the way down.
I also don't care for the bit in transformCaseExpr where you seem
to be relying on subexpression location fields to make semantic
decisions. Surely there's a better way.
