Switch doesn't work with the ternary operator

[rstacruz]

This:

switch (if a then b else c)
  when d
    e()

is expected to become:

switch (a ? b : c) {
  case d:
    e();
    break;
}

but instead gives you:

• Unknown expression type: IfStatement

Just tried on 1.8.0, it generates the ternary as expected, runs fine (after
initialization of course) no errors.
