switch with several arguments

[Remi Forax]

Technically, you do not need tuples/value types because you push the value,
matching on several arguments is already something that need to be supported when destructuring  because you need to match all the arguments of the result of a call to the destructor.

Anyway , at least, we have to check that the meta protocol will allow such extension.
