Hi,
Had a (one-off so far) need for 64-bit support in a switch expression
recently, when compiling Apache's 'subversion' source with OWC 1.9.
Eventually found this is presently not supported in OWC 1.9 but was
wondering if it might make it into OWC 2.0, before I try 'selling' a work-
around (if-else) patch to the 'subversion' people?

This limitation is embedded pretty deeply into the OW code generator.

Extending the allowed range of case values (and switches) would be a
rather risky operation. Given the recently announced timeline for a 2.0
release, I would consider it too big a risk to get into at this time.
