player.chat.starts with switch()

[furry_mougle]

I know you can do something like,

PHP Code:

function onPlayerChats(){
  if(player.chat.starts("test"){
     // bla bla bla
  }
} 


but why can't you do something like this?

PHP Code:

function onPlayerChats(){
   switch (player.chat.starts){
     case "test": // or case "("test")": ?
        // bla bla bla
     break;
   }
} 


might be a really simple solution, but idk it's been bugging me for a while
