[e-lang] Re "Rapid Case Dispatch in Scheme"

[Dean Tribble]

I was wondering about the binary search as well.  Your comment that it would
be coded inline makes perfect sense.

A minor point:  I htink the code snippet you pulled out:

is the dispatch on branch number to the associated behavior, not a binary
search among value alternatives.
