// This file implements discovery of switch and type-switch constructs
// from low-level control flow.
//
// Many techniques exist for compiling a high-level switch with
// constant cases to efficient machine code.  The optimal choice will
// depend on the data type, the specific case values, the code in the
// body of each case, and the hardware.
// Some examples:
// - a lookup table (for a switch that maps constants to constants)
// - a computed goto
// - a binary tree
// - a perfect hash
// - a two-level switch (to partition constant strings by their first byte).

// ignored.  A type switch type-asserts an ssa.Value against two or
// more types.

// The switches are returned in dominance order.
//
// The resulting switches do not necessarily correspond to uses of the
// 'switch' keyword in the source: for example, a single source-level
// switch statement with non-constant cases may result in zero, one or
// many Switches, one per plural sequence of constant cases.
