Following the same sort of logic, a Case statement 'just isn't needed'.
You 
can always implement it as a series of if-then-elses. However, case 
statements and associated else / otherwise statements do provide a more 
convenient way of clearly expressing some algorithms than the alternative 
options. Moreover, the resulting code often can be implemented to perform 
more efficiently.
