If we're going to do this, let's take the opportunity to make it even more
useful.  I love the idea of being able to explicitly define fallthrough
points in a case.

I agree that "continue" is the logically ideal solution, but the BC
breakage negates that.  So I'd have to go with "next", as it's both concise
and descriptive.
