# should contain 'pass'

# As suggested by Pierre Quentel, you can even expand upon the
# functionality of the classic 'case' statement by matching multiple
# cases in a single shot. This greatly benefits operations such as the
# uppercase/lowercase example above:
import string
c = 'A'
for case in switch(c):
  if case(*string.lowercase): # note the * for unpacking as arguments
    print "c is lowercase!"
    break
  if case(*string.uppercase):
    print "c is uppercase!"
    break
  if case('!', '?', '.'): # normal argument passing style also applies
    print "c is a sentence terminator!"
    break
  if case(): # default
    print "I dunno what c was!"

# Since Pierre's suggestion is backward-compatible with the original recipe,
# I have made the necessary modification to allow for the above usage.
