An important complexity to note here is that the .NET memory model has certain strong guarantees that make your pseudocode not precisely equivalent to the (hypothetical, invalid C#) switch (t) { case typeof(int): ... } because your translation implies that variable t must be fetched from memory twice if t != typeof(int), whereas the latter would (putatively) always read the value of t exactly once. This difference can break correctness of concurrent code that relies on those excellent guarantees. For more info on this, see Joe Duffy's Concurrent Programming on Windows
