Proposal: "if switch x case" and "for switch x case ... in"

Evolution Discussion
1

Examples:

if switch x case 1…3 { … }

for switch x case .Some(_) in args { print(x!) }

2

I think that syntax already exists:

let x = 2

if (1...3).contains(x) { print(1) }

let ar: [Int?] = [1, 2, nil, 4]

for case x? in ar {
  print(x)
}

···

I think what I proposed might be a more intuitive replacement for the existing “if case” and “for case”.
