No I don=E2=80=99t see the problem. Inside  a switch construct, when you =
reach the end of an instruction (or of a set of instructions) that is =
not (resp. does not end with) a control-flow statement, you pass to the =
next one. I=E2=80=99m sure that everybody knows that you have to use an =
explicit control-flow statement like =E2=80=9Cbreak=E2=80=9D or =
=E2=80=9Creturn=E2=80=9D if you want to be =E2=80=9Cdone=E2=80=9D before =
reaching the bottom of the switch construct.

Or maybe people could misguess that =E2=80=9C;=E2=80=9D in that context =
is an odd way to mean =E2=80=9C: break;=E2=80=9D?=20
