`that` with default

That's maybe something designed, but that isn't anaphorized (switch a; case 1 then; default that) because default is not in Switch's aTargets (I know you know).

something designed

Yep. Same for else.

vendethiel commented

I can see the why for else, since it's always falsy, but that's not the case for default

satyr commented

Hm. Normal switch is an oddball for anaphorization to begin with: the topic isn't a truthy-check unlike others.

Options:

  1. Quit anaphorizing normal switch (with topic).
  2. Quit anaphorizing switch at all.
  3. Anaphorize for else/default as well.
  4. Leave them as is.

Not sure what you mean "with topic" ?

I suppose it could be added to else too (got into this case only once) for consistency with default, but that doesn't make must sense to me.

  1. or 5) anaphorize default but do not anaphorize topicless switch :D.
satyr commented

do not anaphorize topicless switch

Why?

vendethiel commented

Because I had no idea it was giving this result. My bad, I retract that point. (I hardly see anaphorization for default in topic-less switch)

I would opine to anaphorize default as well.
