It's early days, it will take time to refine. Once we start implementing
this in the parser, we will find aspects that will not work, due to
ambiguity; so stuff will come out of the wood work. Even after
implementation we'll have plenty of time to tweak it, until we start
using it in ernest, it's hard to get a real feel for things.
Btw I'm not sure what you mean by "alternatives" here, I suspect that
will confuse others too:
The 'case' phrases are not alternatives, but 'break' is available to
terminate the switch CE after a match
Also maybe re-include my rich/poor example, it'll help illustrate the
usage. But can remove my MDP bit, so it's just another part of the
documentation.

Now I'm going to write something that has a personal undertone, so
brace yourself. You know, from previous clashes, that ultimately I
mean well and try to be careful not to hurt people's feelings - at
least not more than necessary ;-)
I feel at liberty to write what I'm going to write because the premise
is something I've heard you confess yourself: That you don't like to,
and have problems with, writing English texts.
Now I *suspect* (!) that this trait also has an impact on your ardour
or agility as a programming language designer. Harshly said, some of
the constructs you propose read as awkwardly as some of the sentences
one can find in documentation written by you.
OK, so I've said it. Perhaps you think about it, and please, please,
don't be cross with me. After all, it's only Drools I'm caring for ;-)
