 Synopsis: Switch statement will not accept constant integer variable as case label
 
 State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
 State-Changed-By: jsm28
 State-Changed-When: Mon Aug  7 10:12:47 2000
 State-Changed-Why:
     const int variables are not within the scope of integral constant
     expressions as defined by the standard (6.4 in the 1990 standard, 6.6
     in the 1999 standard).  While implementations may accept other forms
     of constant expressions, I don't think this extension would be in the
     spirit of C.  G++ will accept your code as C++.
