[Implemented] Better CASE

The Pure Basic case statement is a liitle restrictive.
GFA did it better.
I would love to have...
Select Time.l
case 0 to 100
do something
case 110,117,119
do something else
EndSelect

jeah, I also think that is a nice feature. In Delphi it is done like that, I think:
case [0..100]
For PB it would be nice to have a syntax like that:
case 0 to 100 (as RichardL said)
or
case 0 ... 100

This would be a nice useful addition to have, I think the "Case 0 to 100" syntax suits PB better, similar to the for next loop.

In my originla post
case 110,117,119
means "any of the items listed"
GFA also provides for
CASE 10 TO 20, 32,34
and
CASE "FRED", "TIM"
My personal view is that a cacade of ELSEIF does the job but CASE is much neater.
Same request for me

I hope for the same thing... it's just a syntaxic problem, not compiler problem.

Yes would be nice to have this added
I would vote for the following syntax:
Case 12 .. 23 instead of "12 to 23"
Case 10,20,34,56 Seems fine.
Would like also
Case <33
Case >67
Case <57 AND >87
And these sort of combinations.
