No, I do not insist. I guess this is ok in this case.
But I just think that with a switch it's almost impossible to get this
wrong, but with a table you have to be very careful not to break
anything (reading out of bounds, missing enums etc). And with switch you
automatically get compiler to check that all enums values are checked. I
would just prefer to have safe code over clever hacks, even if it means
few lines longer code.

Can you add a comment for that, please?
