Comment (by robin):

 Sorry to keep going here but now I have a problem with this: our syntax is
 pretty much exactly like C, and C does fall-through. Having the same
 syntax but no fall-through seems wrong to me, and actually I find *that*
 to be unsafe in the sense that when I read code like the following, I
 *expect* it to fall-through and hence will misunderstand what's happening:

 {{{
 switch ( v ) {
 case A:
     x();
 case B:
     y();

 }}}

 I think we should do either fall-through or use a different syntax for the
 switch-statement.
