I think adding an example to the manual would be great, but I'm not sure
which.  The one you mention seems a bit excessive for the manual...

(define-skeleton sh-case
  "Insert a case/switch statement.  See `sh-feature'."
  (csh "expression: "
       "switch( " str " )" \n
       > "case " (read-string "pattern: ") ?: \n
       > _ \n
       "breaksw" \n
       ( "other pattern, %s: "
         < "case " str ?: \n
         > _ \n
         "breaksw" \n)
       < "default:" \n
       > _ \n
       resume:
       < < "endsw" \n)
  (es)
  (rc "expression: "
      > "switch( " str " ) {" \n
      > "case " (read-string "pattern: ") \n
      > _ \n
      ( "other pattern, %s: "
        "case " str > \n
        > _ \n)
      "case *" > \n
      > _ \n
      resume:
      ?\} > \n)
  (sh "expression: "
      > "case " str " in" \n
      ( "pattern, %s: "
        > str sh-non-closing-paren \n
        > _ \n
        ";;" \n)
      > "*" sh-non-closing-paren \n
      > _ \n
      resume:
      "esac" > \n))
