select - select keyword

### Description

     select expr,
       case expr1 then instructions1,
       case expr2 then instructions2,
       ...
       case exprn then instructionsn,
       [else instructions],
     end

Notes:

  -The only constraint is that each "then" keyword must be on the same line line as corresponding "case" keyword.
  -The keyword "then" can be replaced by a carriage return or a comma. `instructions1` are executed if `expr1=expr` , etc.

Warning: the number of characters used to define the body of any conditionnal instruction (if while for or select/case) must be limited to 16k.

### Examples

    while %t do
      n=round(10*rand(1,1))
      select n
      case 0 then
        disp(0)
      case 1 then
        disp(1)
      else
        break
      end
    end
