I'm trying to write a "switch-case" statement like:
```
case MyVal
    of...
```
where MyVal is of type "Value" (which is defined as a uint64).

How do I make the compiler interpret it right (since an uint64 is obviously an ordinal type)?

uint64 is not an ordinal https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#types-ordinal-types

Whoa!! Super-weird. Didn't even think of that...

Thanks! :)
