But "if case 1...3 = x { ... }" works.
Why?
`if case 1, 2, 3 = x {` does not work because case statements can only
contain a single pattern when used in an if/for/while. Only when found
in `switch` statements can they contain multiple comma-separated
patterns.
`if case 1...3 = x {` works because this a single pattern `1...3`, and
it's equivalent to saying `if 1...3 ~= x {` (`~=` is the operator that
is used for doing value comparisons in patterns, and it's implemented
for all `IntervalType`s to call `interval.contains(x)`).
Also, this seems like a question that's more appropriate for swift-users
than swift-evolution.

But why aren’t multiple comma-separated patterns supported in if/for/while just like in switch statements?
I think they should be.

IIRC multiple case patterns in `if-case` are not yet supported due to compiler limitations.

Ah, so you're proposing that the syntax be changed, rather than merely
asking why the code doesn't work? That makes sense.
As for why it's not supported now, I don't know. Maybe there's some
syntactic ambiguity in allowing it? Or maybe there was just concern
about it being confusing. Hopefully someone involved in the
implementation of it can answer this.
