I would pick the analogy of a `#if...#elseif...#end` construct:

    #switch(VALUE)
      #case(COMPARE1)
        // branch 1
      #break
      #case(COMPARE2)
        // branch 2
      #break
      ...
      #default
        // branch Z
      #break
    #end

is fully equivalent (presuming all values are numeric) to:

    #if(VALUE=COMPARE1)
      // branch 1
    #elseif(VALUE=COMPARE2)
      // branch 2
    ...
    #else
      // branch Z
    #end
