JEP325: Switch expressions spec

[Guy Steele]

Good point, Rémi.  However, note that

	case pat1, pat2 -> s

is equally too close to

	case pat1 -> pat2 -> s

and again they have very different meanings.

We have to admit that there is room to blunder with this syntax.

One way out would be to use a different arrow for `switch` statements:

	switch (x) {
		case pat1 => case pat2 => s1;
		case pat3 => pat4 -> s2;
		case pat5, pat6 => s2;
		case pat 7, pat8 => pat9 -> s4;
	}
