Description
Calling case returns a case closure with one defined method, on. This closure can stand in place of complicated if-elseif code and functions analogously to the C language switch case construct except that it can be called anywhere once defined. The first parameter passed to the [[[case.on|on]] method selects a function from the initial case table and calls it with the remaining parameters passed through.
