Interesting. I never knew that. What languages have this limitation?

It isn't language specific, it is implemention specific. I know some C/C++ compilers have this issue, but not all.

For embedded I can see that limitation and that switch could look much more readable since you're mostly working with numbers (integers, addresses etc.) instead of more complex structures (objects, strings etc.)
