I think you might be able to implement that using recursive templates (like 
I demonstrated in my D '07 talk)

it would look something like this


Switch!(Object, bool function(Object a, Object b){return a is b;}, A).
    Case!(B, {action();}).
    Case!(C, {something();}).
End();

OTOH I think you get an issue with not being able to alias local stuff.

p.s. No I'm not serious either.
