switch on tuple

See original GitHub issue

[@gavinking] We still don’t have any real plans to support genuine pattern matching, however one small thing that could I guess make some sense would be to allow tuple expressions in a case, for example:

switch(tuple)
case ([0,false]) { ... }
case ([1,true]) { ... }
case ([1,false]) { ... }
else { ... }

This would only be for tuples of types that we already allow in cases.

I think it would be weird and irregular to not allow case([]).
