Comment(by igloo):

 The lexer complexity is only an issue with the `\ case` syntax, not with
 either `\ of` or `case of`, right?

 So given opinion seems to be divided on which is aesthetically nicer,
 which don't we implement one of the syntaxes that gives a simpler, cleaner
 specification and implementation?
