No.  I have considered adding something like this, but probably with a
syntax that matches the current language a little better, maybe using 
switch and endswitch keywords.

For now, you have to use if/elseif/else/endif.

I believe that the MathWorks web site mentions that MATLAB 5 supports
a switch statement.  Does anyone know what syntax it uses?

Thanks,
