Switch expressions and enhanced pattern matching are great new concepts working together with C# 8.

For those switching switches

"Compared to the switch statement the essentials of the code are easier to grasp..." uh... "...as soon as you are used to Lambda expressions." Well, that explains it then.

to make it even more different than the older code.
