Since the `switch/case` construct in Proto runs differently from the usual way, it should be spelt differently to avoid the confusion that will inevitably occur when switching between languages. For instance, Perl names it `given/when` [1], and SQL uses `case/when`. [1]: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlsyn.html#Switch-Statements
Hi Nathan, Since the `switch/case` construct in Proto runs differently from the usual way, it should be spelt differently to avoid the confusion that will inevitably occur when switching between languages.
