The intention was to have a switch statement that had cases that
depended on two values, instead of the default of one value.
It's the equivalent of this:

	if (bits==16 && shift==16) ...
	else if (bits==26 && shift==2) ...

What I'd like to see in C is this option:

	switch (bits,shift) {
          case 16,16 : ...
          case 26,2 : ...
	}
