This may or may not be a good idea, all depending on how you code, but like how there is a CFCATCH scope available to caught exceptions, many times I find myself performing an in-depth equation for the expression of <cfswitch>.  It would be nice if a temporary scope could exist for the duration of the <cfswitch> that allows me to quickly reference the matched value.  ie:

<cfswitch expression="#listFindNoCase( listLast( cgi.http_host, '.' ), 'dev' )#">

<cfcase value="dev,stag">You are a non-public environment, the: #cfcase.value# environment.</cfcase> <!--- cfcase.value would be either 'dev' or 'stag'. --->
<cfdefaultcase>You are on a public environment, the: #cfcase.value# environment.</cfdefaultcase>

</cfswitch>

It would also exist for cfscript use as well.

Whilst it makes the CF dev's life a bit easier in a given edge case, it's a lot of horsing around for Adobe when all *you* need to do is: <cfset caseValue = listFindNoCase( listLast( cgi.http_host, '.' ), 'dev' )> <cfswitch expression="#caseValue#"> <cfcase value="dev,stag"> <!--- and you will know that caseValue will have the value you want ---> </cfcase> -- Adam

+1 to Adam. It is not worth the effort adding this in the language when you have so many easier ways to achieve this. WIll not be fixed.
