Sure, but fir's original posting in 
  MID <3deb64c5b0ee344acd9fbaea1002baf7302c1e8f@i2pn2.org>

was a contrived sequence to the effect of 
    if (n==0) { //do something }
    if (n==1) { //do something }
    if (n==2) { //do something }
    if (n==3) { //do something }
    if (n==4) { //do something }

So, I merely took the contrived sequence, and made "do something" trip
each condition.

Stefan's example from a few posts back is better:
