Yes, it definitely is. Great to see the results for "object switch". 3 
times more matches than "string in switch".
This is why I'm against widening switch statement to equals-semantics, see:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/coin-dev/2009-April/001328.html

I guess, widening to "expressioned object switch" would increase the 
statistics even more.

Ruslan, thanks for including my proposal.

BTW: Have you also parsed JDK's private sun.* classes? I guess, there 
are plenty of byte literals.
