Developers can now write C++ functions code like the following instead of manually branching on the identifier length and on the characters appearing at each position.

SWITCH(characters, nameLength) {
  CASE("skew(") { ... }
  CASE("scale(") { .. }
  CASE("skewx(") { .. }
}

Code generation expands the SWITCH into nested branching statements.
