  With all due respect ... tomato tomato (I don't know phonetic spelling, sorry)...
  
  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.
  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).
