Subject: switch labels in sub-blocks
From: abies@php.net (Ard Biesheuvel)

Hi all,

is there a specific reason why nested blocks in switch statements are 
not supported ? It can be very useful if you want to jump into the 
middle of the first iteration of a loop (like fetching rows from a 
result set where the first row might or might not be already present)

Eg.

switch ($i) {

case 0:
	do {
		// iteration
default:
	} while ( /* some condition */ );
}
