Missing static?

This should be with " Switch" so that it won't check a concatenated
word.

I'm afraid that this would hit too many when applying to the existing
code; although the control name should be indeed with Switch suffix,
we tend to allow without suffix for casual non-standard elements.

But having the check would help for avoiding such a mistake for the
future code, so it's fine to add this strict check, IMO.
