Comment (by vern):

 Hmmmm I find most of those fairly modest arguments, though I agree some of
 them will clearly get good benefit.  (The coupling with the global "cmd"
 in policy/frameworks/control/controller.bro is pretty weird ...)

 What are the semantics for "fall through"?  Are cases exclusive, or do
 they require something like "break" to prevent fall-through?  (I'm a fan
 of the former, but then you need a way of associating multiple labels with
 a single case-block.  For example, "case A, B, C: ..." rather than C-style
 "case A: case B: case C:".)
