Strings in switch is the Project Coin name.

Also, string case labels.

The JLS calls them "switch labels", "case constants" and "case 
labels".(§14.11) (Case constants actually are only the constants within the 
case label, but that still pertains to Roedy's question.)

So do the programmers who implemented these constructs for Java.

But I had no trouble understanding that Roedy meant "string case labels" for 
"case string labels". The mere word transposition seemed like a typo.
