Switch expressions spec

[Gavin Bierman]

I have uploaded a revised switch expressions spec at:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gbierman/switch-expressions.html

This is functionally equivalent to the spec uploaded last month. The change is in how we specify the type checking of switch expressions. We have make simplifications to make it more consistent with the specification of conditional expressions. The behaviour of type checking is unchanged.

Thanks,
Gavin

PS: I have left the January version at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gbierman/switch-expressions-old.html for reference.

I have also taken the opportunity to reorder chapter 15 slightly, so switch expressions are now section 15.28 and constant expressions are now section 15.29 (the last section in the chapter).
