+/// \brief A switch()-like statement whose cases are string literals.
+///
+/// The StringSwitch class is a simple form of a switch() statement that
+/// determines whether the given string matches one of the given string
+/// literals. The template type parameter \p T is the type of the value that
+/// will be returned from the string-switch expression. For example,
+/// the following code switches on the name of a color in \c argv[i]:
+///
+/// \code
+/// Color color = StringSwitch<Color>(argv[i])
+///   .Case("red", Red)
+///   .Case("orange", Orange)
+///   .Case("yellow", Yellow)
+///   .Case("green", Green)
+///   .Case("blue", Blue)
+///   .Case("indigo", Indigo)
+///   .Case("violet", Violet)
+///   .Default(UnknownColor);
+/// \endcode
