[boost] [lambda] better switch syntax

In the docs for lambda, at a point, Joel de Guzmann suggested a better
syntax for control structures, namely:

if_(condition)[then_part]
if_(condition)[then_part].else_[else_part]
while_(condition)[body]
do_[body].while_(condition)
for_(init, condition, increment)[body]

I strongly prefer this, but the same could be done for switch_statement,
which is pretty huge otherwise:

switch_(condition)
    .case_<label1>[lambda_expression]
    .case_<label2>[lambda_expression]

What do you think?

Best,
John
