AFAIK, #switch can only check if a test value is equal to several case values -- it cannot make value comparisons, such as greater than or less than, which only #expr can. So if every #switch is going to have a #expr child, you might just as well just have an #if tree with nested #expr functions to save a chunk of CPU from following every false path.
