It would be nice to have {#switch}{:case}{/switch}

[Gorbulev-Sergey]

Describe the problem

Sometimes it is necessary to use "switch/case", because with a large monotonous list, "if/else if" overloads the code.

Describe the proposed solution

I would like to have something like:

{#switch variable}
    {:case "first"}
      ... something first ...
    {:case "second"}
      ... something second ...
    {:default}
      ... other ...
{/switch}

Alternatives considered

Thanks guys!

Yup, this has come up several times in the past. It's stalled due to lack of agreement on what the syntax would look like.
