I don't get the given/when part of this comment at all? given/when is exactly like C's switch/case, except the names are better and it's at least an order of magnitude more powerful. It's 100% not added verbosity in any way. Added complexity, sure, but it's a pretty straightforward application of some of the main ideas of the language, usable in the standard C-language-family way out of the box, and powerful and flexible when you understand it. |

Given and when were listed as separate items, not “given/when”; I agree with you about given (encompassing the given/when construct), but I can understand seeing “when” as an oddity (though I think it's a plus for comprehensibility, because it's general behavior is a consistent generalization of it's behavior in given/when.)
