:No?
Not above the register level, no, not really. :P Certainly not from that
perspective being commented on here, namely the world-building part. The
case switches are deep in the event management, memory management, level
of resolution management, neural net feeding, etc... but builders don't,
and shouldn't, have to account for everything that might happen from the
inside of a switch.
