[DUG] In [set] efficiency

[Rohit Gupta]

Steve,

I am pretty sure you are correct.  This happened when they scrapped the 
pascal compiler and changed the c compiler to do pascal.  One of the 
changes then was that you could not use the same selector value twice in 
the case statement.  Before that time, you could.
