<guangchuangyu at gmail.com> asked why switch(..., a <- 3, ...) doesn't
have the same effect as switch(..., a=3, ...).
In most contexts, `<-` and `=` are synonymous in R, and mean
assignment. In function-argument position, however, an infix `=` names
the argument. Switch depends on the argument names.
