What's so funny about this code. I also normally use if-statements with booleans but 
there are circumstances where a case statement seems more appropriate to the 
problem at hand.

Take e.g. kind of double-buffering. I use an array indexed by Boolean and switch 
via
  "X := not X;"

In such cases, neither True nor False denote something which is wrong or right, 
so I prefer the case statement.

Switching with a two-valued enumeration is not so elegant, you need a switch 
table or a case statement instead of the simple "X := not X;".
