What about when you want to fall through to a multiple label?  Or a range label?

case 0:
    // do stuff
    goto case ??;
case 1: .. case 9:
     // do more stuff
     goto case ??;
case 10,20,30:
     // still more stuff

The obvious answer would seem to be just "pick any one".
I just bring it up because I haven't seen that ... uh case ...
mentioned by anyone.
