Switch/case mandates "case constant-expression:" which is far more
restrictive compared to a series of if statements. 'If' can take ANY
expression as its control expression. This makes a whole difference in
its applicability field. I am NOT saying a switch statement is to be
avoided. In fact, in the source code of simple-netaid-backend, I used
it.
