+A case can specify zero or more compare values that will determine whether it matches. Each of the compare values
+must be the exact same width as the control signal. When more than one compare value is specified, the case matches

+A switch prioritizes cases from first to last: multiple cases can match, but only the first matched case becomes
+active. This normally synthesizes to a priority encoder. The {\tt parallel\_case} attribute allows passes to assume
+that no more than one case will match, and {\tt full\_case} attribute allows passes to assume that exactly one
+case will match; if these invariants are ever dynamically violated, the behavior is undefined. These attributes
+are useful when an invariant invisible to the synthesizer causes the control signal to never take certain
+bit patterns.
