For instance, the current compilers disallow duplicate integer,
floating point, or string constants in case expressions.

<p>
A type switch compares types rather than values. It is otherwise similar
to an expression switch. It is marked by a special switch expression that
has the form of a <a href="#Type_assertions">type assertion</a>

Otherwise, type inference succeeds.

<h4 id="Type_unification">Type unification</h4>

<p>
Type inference solves type equations through <i>type unification</i>.
Type unification recursively compares the LHS and RHS types of an
equation, where either or both types may be or contain bound type parameters,
and looks for type arguments for those type parameters such that the LHS
