Similar story as with objects - the switch statement originally existed to facilitate type-aware conditionals for statically checked algebraic data-types. At this point it's just syntactic sugar for a chain of conditionals. It might make sense to unify the two constructs - and I like the syntax you suggest

Or cond. Which is more like what you did. Not if, which is everywhere a binop. switch takes a block with seperate syntax, but cond just a list of expressions and statements.
