Hi,

Is it worth adding to C++ dynamic_switch?

Does anything prevent from that :
        implementation problem,
        conceptual reasons?

If we could write something like this
//===============================
string sss;
string sss1 = "XXXXXXXXX";
string sss2 = "YYYYYYYYYY";
        dynamic_switch (sss)
        {
                case sss1 :
                        // Stuff
                        break;

                case sss2 :
                        // Stuff
                        break;

                default :
                        // Stuff
                        break;
        }

//-------------------
class AAA
{
        // Stuff
};
AAA aaa (...);
AAA aaa1 (...);
AAA aaa2 (...);
        dynamic_switch (aaa)
        {
                case aaa1 :
                        // Stuff
                        break;

                case aaa2 :
                        // Stuff
                        break;

                default :
                        // Stuff
                        break;
        }

//===============================
it would be nice.


If typeid and dynamic_cast are available,
        why dynamic_switch isn't?
