So, I would prefer to be able to write something like (VHDL flavor, and
yet another even more disturbing keyword :-) knowing that if elseif...
could be reused)
style = "native"
a = { a = 1,

            c = 1 when style == "native",
                2 when style == "rock",
                0 else
          }
     }

I actually like "when" (although i use it with "otherwise" because "else" is already in use).

And I find it clearer, I searched something after the else... Sounds corny. Of course, that's more keywords...

But more Lua like would be:

a = { a = 1,
      b = { b = 2,
            c = {native = 1, rock = 2}[style] or 0
          }
    }

Argh! WOULD BE! I tried it, and wondered by I had syntax errors...
Indeed, it seems a bit strange at first, but it is quite elegant in its simplicity (and no new keyword...).
