Detail 113: Imperative as a Case

Imagine a case that marks out a specific noun as an answer to a question or as a suggestion or order.

I.e.
Which one should I take? That.CASE.
 Would you pay your debts.CASE.
Should I bring the red or the white wine? White.CASE.
Now, this could easily develop into a situation where nominal verbs marked with such a case serve as imperatives.
