I once intended to use case and friends in the core routines
to ease handling of the throw codes. Soon I changed my
mind and the case/endcase group of words is left mostly in
a development state without beeing properly tested.

They should work like any other case, hopefully next week
I'll find the time to fix it. It can be as little as adding
a drop to endcase but I'll check it first (or anybody
out there sends me a patch 8=) )
