Surely you meant x << 60? As x >> 60 is going to be 0, even with a ulong.

Given that your code above doesn't compile, it's hard to figure out what 
you mean. Do you have a working example?

It doesn't require breaks for cases, it requires no fall-through on 
cases. Again, an example would help describe what you mean.
