so in short this groupo seem to have no conclusion but is tolerant foir 
various approaches as it seems

imo the else latder is like most proper but i dont lkie it optically,
swich case i also dont like (use as far i i remember never in my code,
for years dont use even one)

so i persnally would use bare ifs and maybe elses ocasionally
(and switch should be mended but its fully not clear how,

as to those pointer tables im not sure but im like measurad it onece and 
it was (not sure as to thsi as i dont remember exactly) slow maybe 
dependant on architecture so its noth wort of use (if i remember correctly)
