<p>With all due respect ... tomato tomato (I don't know phonetic spelling, sorry)...</p>
<p>My point here was that making a whatever-you-call it more or less obligatory in something that is (used to be) shared with a closely related language introduces unnecessary confusion ("wait, am I writing C or C++ here"). And extra overhead when reusing algorithms between those languages.<br />
I don't see any good reason why the same syntax wouldn't be used in C. And I wasn't thinking of a complete overhaul of the syntax, only of the statement name, in this case ("multi" instead of "switch", for instance).</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R32 KDevelop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D15694">https://phabricator.kde.org/D15694</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>aaronpuchert, KDevelop, mssola, brauch<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>rjvbb, brauch, mssola, kossebau, kdevelop-devel, glebaccon, antismap, iodelay, vbspam, geetamc, Pilzschaf, akshaydeo, surgenight, arrowd<br /></div>
