Description

Map currently has no specific isCase method.
Possible definitions:

public static boolean isCase(Map caseValue, Object switchValue) {
    return DefaultTypeTransformation.castToBoolean(caseValue.get(switchValue));
}

or this:

public static boolean isCase(Map caseValue, Object switchValue) {
    return DefaultTypeTransformation.compareEqual(caseValue, switchValue);
}

Of these, probably the first is better as it fits how isCase is done for regex and lists etc.
