Tomás, please see earlier posts on this thread that discuss the differences between switch statements and function-table constructs so the conversation doesn't go in circles!
Also no, I do not use that type of construct, I much prefer the cleaner style of the switch statement and the extra functionality it can provide... which is why I created the switch patch! ;)
