I think use switch in case like this will be very useful
Reproduce code:
---------------

case Foo : echo "Foo"; break;

It'll be a problem because of PHP structure. But maybe use/create a keyword to receive the case value. switch ($a instanceof case) { case Foo : echo "Foo"; break; case Bar : echo "Bar"; break; default : echo "Unknown" : break; }I'm going to mark this wontfix, on the original proposal, for three reasons: 1. It's a very specific use case 2. I imagine it would require a specific syntax "exception" in the PHP parser to support a switch+interfaceof+case class names 3. You can already do this: switch (true) { case $a instanceof Foo: echo "Foo"; break; case $a instanceof Bar: echo "Bar"; break; default: echo "Unknown"; break; } Regarding using "case" in the condition, I think that's more feasible. @david.proweb, if you'd like to push for this feature then I suggest bringing it up on the internals mailing list for discussion.
