@whitequark A result of this is that my N just increased from 3 to 4, and I'm considering a refactor, and realizing it may be conceptually impossible to do better for "two parallel copypasted versions of the code, one of which handles exactly one case, and one of which handles the remaining N-1 cases". Because of James Gosling.
Now I want to emphasize I have only the utmost respect for James Gosling,
