 switch
 ===== Description =====
 Allow for multiple selection control in a single, more compact form that multiple if/else if/endif endif format. This is intended to improve clarity by reducing otherwise repetitive coding.
+All code between ''switch'' and ''endswitch'' is evaluated in order, including code written outside of ''case''..''endcase'' statements. Each ''case'' expects an argument that evaluates to True or False at the time of being encountered. If True, the case is executed, and the execution of the switch is ended at the next ''endcase''. If False, the case is skipped and the execution of the code inside the switch continues as normal.
