           Summary: Spec is unclear describing string switch case labels
           Product: D
           Version: 2.031

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: www.digitalmars.com

        ReportedBy: jlquinn optonline.net


In the docs, it describes the allowable string case labels as follows:

  Both ascii and wchar strings are allowed. 

Is this true?  Or are char utf-8 and dchar strings also allowed?  If not, it
seems a strange restriction.

It is also unclear if compile-time-evaluable expressions are allowed for string
case labels.  The general text on switches makes it seem so, but the above text
moddies the waters a little, I think.

Wow.  D used to have "ascii" and "unicode" strings before the current scheme,
which means that description is just several years out-of-date ;)
