/**
<p>A polymorphic switch, which routes inputs to specified output channels.
This actor has two input ports, the <i>input</i> port for data,
and the <i>control</i> port to select which output channel to use.
When it fires, if an input token is available at the <i>control</i>
input, that token is read, and its value is noted. If an input
token is available on the <i>input</i> port, then that token is
read, sent to the output channel specified by the most recently
received value on the <i>control</i> port. If no token has been
received on the <i>control</i> port, then the token is sent to
channel zero. If the value of the most recently received token
on the <i>control</i> port is out of range (less than zero,
or greater than or equal to the width of the output), then no
output is produced, and the token is lost.
</p><p>
Note that it may be tempting to call an instance of this
class "switch", but recall that "switch" is a Java keyword, and
thus it cannot be the name of an object.</p>
