Enhance JADE language to be more "professional"

When JADE started out there was the intention that the language would be simple enough that novice developers could code in it and understand it. This was the reason for not including "advanced" concepts like a ++ operator, or a switch statement.

Now that the remaining people using the language are actually professional developers, rather than novices, it would be nice to add more syntactic sugar:

++ and -- operators
switch/case statement
ternary operator
try/catch/finally block

    Not to forget other similar compiler enhancements like:

    value  += 5;

    value += "append this text";

    being able to create new instances of classes within parameters, and not having to exclusively declaring a local variable for new instantiations.
