I'm pretty sure in the last switch thread Khaled said a switch statement was on his to-do list, so I don't think it's a case of not wanting to develop the language. More likely it's down to prioritising the planned additions and deciding that 'code style' changes like switch and for statements aren't necessities. The fact that it's been a year since the last release suggests that some big changes have been made - hell, maybe the next mIRC release has already got OOP by the bucketload. Maybe.
If objects are added to mIRC scripting I just hope they don't use the PHP style demonstrated in the original suggestion. IMO the -> style is ugly.
