The switch statement is defined as:

switch-statement → switch expression {switch-cases*}

I'd imagine this means the expression is evaluated once, e.g.:

switch 2 + 3 {
case 5: print("Five!")
default: break
}

So I'm more likely to expect "one" than "one"/"two".  I would defer this question 
to the core team for a better answer.
