#40 — switch() feature request

Folks, could you add support for switch on pointers and NSStrings* in
addition to constants in the next version of objc?
Internally it could be an ugly if(x==foo) {} else if(x==bar) {...
chain or
it could be optimized through a NSMutableDictionary since i don't
picture an iphone nano without some core frameworks anyway
(assuming apps will be even allowed on iphone nano)
 but basically I want my code uncluttered and free
from long if else if else chains.

tnx

Good idea. Consider it done.

Tnx. While you are at it you could ponder promoting some data
structures from core framework
into the language itself. Think Python..

NSMutableDictionary is probably a good start.

Absolutely. We'll get right on that. I assume you've already deposited 
the development fee into the ObjC Dev Fund bank account?

I consider objc to be clutter free, so no, just don;t bring all the
bloat from c++
and you/we all will be fine. I don't miss anything from Stroustrupware
one bit.
tnx

Sorry, but no. I've got way too much other stuff to do right now.
