But I think it's a pretty common thing for bindings to do.  When they,
for example, try to find out how to represent a surface, they switch
over its type.  The switch statement can be replaced with if - else if -
else of course, but then you'd need to use strncmp instead of simply ==
too if enums are replaced with strings.
