Hi,

In 3.2.0, pasting the example from 'help switch' fails with

>   syntax error
>
> >>>            case {"Yes" "yes" "YES" "y" "Y"}
>                                ^


I don't know whether the example is wrong, or whether the parser is  
wrong to require a comma.  Note that

> x = {"Yes" "yes" "YES" "y" "Y"};
> switch yesno; case x; ...


is accepted.

Cheers,
Rob
