Just did a quick scan of phobos1. Found 5 instances of fallthrough, not
including one around line 182, format.d

    case Mangle.Tdchar:
      ti = typeid(dchar);
    default:
      ti = null;

I have a hard time believing that was intentional, although it as near
as I can tell it will never be executed.
