Doh -- ignore the "breaks" comment above (not sure why I left them out --
fatigue?).  Include the breaks to prevent the script from returning multiple
true statements (unless you want multiple true statements).

 switch
 case c < t1
   do1
   break
 case c < t2
   do2
   break
 case c < t3
   do3
   break
 ...
 case c < t8
   do8
 end switch
