And I'm beginning to see that this particular example may be the real cause of
my fundamental question about #switch()-- my quasi-misconception of it's
'Boolean behavior' vs.  comparison of 'simple numerical values.' Because, it
just so happens that in POV-Ray, #switch/#case can do this. (I probably stumbled
on this behavior by accident, when I first began working with #switch-- and then
took it to be ONE of the two 'typical' modes of operation!)
