SwitchFunction (EvalEx 3.5.0 API)

@FunctionParameter(name="expression") @FunctionParameter(name="value1") @FunctionParameter(name="result1",isLazy=true) @FunctionParameter(name="additionalValues",isLazy=true,isVarArg=true)
public class SwitchFunction
extends AbstractFunction
```
A function that evaluates one value (or expression) against a list of values, and returns the result corresponding to the first matching value. If there is no match, an optional default value may be returned.
Syntax:
SWITCH(expression, value1, result1, [value, result, ...], [default])

Examples:
1. The following function will return either "Sunday", "Monday", or "Tuesday", depending on the result of the variable weekday. Since no default value was specified, the function will return a null value if there is no match:
SWITCH(weekday, 1, "Sunday", 2, "Monday", 3, "Tuesday")

2. The following function will return either "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", or "No match", depending on the result of the variable weekday:
SWITCH(weekday, 1, "Sunday", 2, "Monday", 3, "Tuesday", "No match")
