switch-statement

Does anyone know if it's possible to include a range in a switch statement (and if so, how)?

For example:

switch (x)
{
   case 1:
     //do something
     break;
   case 2..8:
     //do something else
     break;
   default:
     break;
}

The compiler doesn't seem to like this kind of syntax - neither does it like:

case <= 8:
