Hack to make Python look like C++

This is fun :-)

Shorter version, by reusing the dict instead of using lists:

default = object()

class Cout(object):
    def __lshift__(self, obj):
        return obj
cout = Cout()

def case(x):
    return x

class Switch(object):
    def __call__(self, obj):
        self.obj = obj
        return self
    def __or__(self, D):
        output = D.get(self.obj, default)
        if output == default:
            try:
                output = D[default]
            except KeyError:
                raise RuntimeError("Missing default value")
        print(output)
switch = Switch()

Thanks @JanSchultz! I ended up changing it to a slightly different approach

This begs for StreamIO/BytesIO.

you should make it assert dominance
