[Pyrex] switch statement

[Robert Bradshaw]

I did some experiments with this, and the results seemed to indicated  
it does not. Also, nested ifs performed poorly compared to a flat  
list of ifs (for a medium-sized (5-50) set of conditions).

It would be nice to have some syntax for switch statements. Several  
alternatives have been rejected for Python: http://www.python.org/dev/ 
peps/pep-3103/
