Hi RafaÅ,

Late response, but I tried to tell what George clarified by the example 
above so you need nested switch.

I tend to agree with George that having this id to name conversion in 
the bus driver may be nice for debugging, but apart from memory usage it 
also gives you additional maintenance work. Leave it up to you.
