It would be more in the style of Java to extend the switch statement's
syntax by adding pseudo constants corresponding to <, == and > so you
could write something like:
switch(arithmetic expression)
{
case LT: ....; break;
case EQ: ....; break;
case GT: ....; break;
default: ...; break;
}
As a bonus, you'd also get the equivalent of LE and GE without needing
any additional syntactic extensions.
