Switch expressions spec

[Tagir Valeev]

Hello!

15.15 says:

The following production from 15.16 is shown here for convenience:

CastExpression:
( PrimitiveType ) UnaryExpression
( ReferenceType {AdditionalBound} ) UnaryExpressionNotPlusMinus
( ReferenceType {AdditionalBound} ) LambdaExpression #

Before it was clear that CastExpression is for completeness here, as
other operators are covered above. Now it's unclear why CastExpression
production is shown here for convenience, but switch expression is not
shown. Probably both should be shown or both removed.

With best regards,
Tagir Valeev.

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).
