Description Manoj N Palat CLA 2019-03-13 12:51:47 EDT 
Follow-up of the issue found in bug 544605 comment 5 - SwitchStatement is now extending Expression so that SwitchExpression can share the code of SwitchStatement and also be treated as an expression - rightly so. However, this warrants an explicit expression check in addition to instanceof. Revisit this relationship to check the possibility of making SwitchStatement independent of Expression as before but with SwitchExpression shareing code (talk of contrasting requirements..)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

> Manoj, can you please check if this is relevant.

 yes, relevant but involves a design change for switch expressions - Keeping in the radar until the planets align...
