I wonder if there should be two default clauses, or some other syntactic way to indicate whether we expect all x to be hashable?

switch expr:
    case 1:
        statements
    case 2:
        statements
    else:
        statements
    except KeyError:
        statements
    finally:
        statements

Small variation:

switch expr: case 1: statements case 2: statements else: statements except: statements
