case select with multiple options

currently, every case can only have 1 expression

select a
case 1
case 2
case 3
endselect

is it possible to get more expressions per case?

select a
case 1 , 2
case 3
endselect

it beats a long list of if / elseif / elseif / endif...

Not possible. But now that we have the break command:

select a
case 1
case 3
;do something
break

case 5
;do something else
break
endselect

this doesn't work now because select/endselect exits when the first case evaluates to true. maybe Fred should modified it(C works this way), although case 1,3 looks better.

Using the break command would make the next version incompatible with the former versions. I tend to the proposed version with the ,
