beorn7 5b53aa1108 style: Replace else if cascades with switch ... Wiser coders than myself have come to the conclusion that a `switch` statement is almost always superior to a statement that includes any `else if`. The exceptions that I have found in our codebase are just these two: * The `if else` is followed by an additional statement before the next condition (separated by a `;`). * The whole thing is within a `for` loop and `break` statements are used. In this case, using `switch` would require tagging the `for` loop, which probably tips the balance. Why are `switch` statements more readable? For one, fewer curly braces. But more importantly, the conditions all have the same alignment, so the whole thing follows the natural flow of going down a list of conditions. With `else if`, in contrast, all conditions but the first are "hidden" behind `} else if `, harder to spot and (for no good reason) presented differently from the first condition. I'm sure the aforemention wise coders can list even more reasons. In any case, I like it so much that I have found myself recommending it in code reviews. I would like to make it a habit in our code base, without making it a hard requirement that we would test on the CI. But for that, there has to be a role model, so this commit eliminates all `if else` occurrences, unless it is autogenerated code or fits one of the exceptions above.
