When using document command arguments for case distinctions I routinely have been using the str_case:nn function, which works fine as is evident from the output of the myStrCase command. When attempting to use the tl_case:Nn function instead, by loading the argument into a _tl type variable, things go miserably wrong. The variable seems to be loaded with the correct value, and is then flagged as correct as far as the tl_case:Nn function is concerned, but the corresponding code is not executed. Why?

          The documentation (interface3) already contains your answer:



          tl_case:NnTF <test token list variable>

          <token list variable case1> <code case1>
          <token list variable case2> <code case2>
          ...
          <token list variable casen> <code casen>

          <true code>
          <false code>


          You will find "token list variable" and not "token list" therein. Hence you are asked to provide one token (a variable/N-type argument). So to use this construction you would need to save your options into variables and use these within tl_case.
