I doubt one can really know if it's a game changer until it has been 
implemented and experimented with.  I'm not really in a position to design 
one for D, but I have had some positive experience with erlang's 'case' 
expressions.  The real question is if we can make it clean and powerful 
enough to outdo a library solution.

Yeah, I was trying to derail this thread in a more useful direction.
