> The documentation at http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefcasenullif.html describes the CASE expression syntax as:
>    CASE WHEN BooleanExpression THEN thenExpression ELSE elseExpression END
> But the CASE expression supports more than one WHEN/THEN clauses.
> I suggest to change the syntax description to:
>    CASE
>       WHEN BooleanExpression THEN Expression
>     [ WHEN BooleanExpression THEN Expression ]
>       ...
>       ELSE elseExpression
>    END
> Example:
>    VALUES
>       CASE
>          WHEN 1 = 2 THEN 3
>          WHEN 4 = 5 THEN 6
>          ELSE 7
>       END
