Hmmm.....

I agree with you, that this (ARG_24) is really vital. But I think it's 
beyond the scope of a single PEP to suggest ALL the changes that might 
be appropriate. I think it would get the discussion all mixed up. I 
don't think that it's necessary to agree to a case/switch statement in 
order to support a conditional expression.

I guess I just think we'll never get anywhere if we try to bite off too 
big a bite at once.

Besides... I don't think I'd support the CASE/SWITCH statement (although 
this would be, for me, the strongest argument in favor of it!).
