[erlang-questions] Idiom for multiple case matches

[David Mercer]

Actually, using Ulf's ct_expand parse transform, the results on the set look
much better:

1000000 Iterations
        Virding: Run-Time/Wall-Clock: 94/94 milliseconds
        Cronqvist: Run-Time/Wall-Clock: 141/140 milliseconds
        Mercer: Run-Time/Wall-Clock: 843/844 milliseconds

That's a 17x speed-up!

However, now I get a compile warning:

	./test.erl:0: Warning: variable 'V42' is unused

I don't know enough about parse transforms to debug.  Is there any
documentation on creating them?
