Subject: Re: How to "break" a "case-when" ?

From: Iñaki Baz Castillo [mailto:ibc@aliax.net] 
# var = ...something...

# Yes, but what I was trying to avoid is to enclose all the "real" stuff
# ni a "if" stament since it's in fact the default behaviour and that
# will be executed 99% of times.
# Anyway I understand that is the only way.

how about another case way, 

var = ...something...
case 
  when num==1 and ( var < 0 || var > 10 )
     puts "var not valid for num==1 !!!!!"
  when other_stuff_condition
  when ....
     ...
  else
    else_stuff
end
puts "Write it"
