Imo this is another example of wording a deviation in too wide a manner.
It shouldn't be "is", but "may". Whether what is said here applies is
entirely down to every specific instance; otherwise I'm inclined to read
this as a suggestion to replace all if() by switch(), for that always
improving readability. FTAOD things would be different if this was
explanatory text to a SAF comment - there the specific context is always
given (by where the comment actually appears).

Ok, I'll rephrase a v2.
