Scala example source code file (switch.scala)

This example Scala source code file (switch.scala) is included in my "Source Code Warehouse" project. The intent of this project is to help you more easily find Scala source code examples by using tags.

All credit for the original source code belongs to scala-lang.org; I'm just trying to make examples easier to find. (For my Scala work, see my Scala examples and tutorials.)

/** An annotation to be applied to a match expression.  If present,

 *  and issue an error if it instead compiles into a series of conditional expressions.
 *  Example usage:
{{{
  val Constant = 'Q'
  def tokenMe(ch: Char) = (ch: @switch) match {
    case ' ' | '\t' | '\n'  => 1
    case 'A' | 'Z' | '$'    => 2
    case '5' | Constant     => 3  // a non-literal may prevent switch generation: this would not compile
    case _                  => 4
