This was discussed before. IIRC, someone suggested to force using a  
control-flow keyword (break/continue/goto) at the end of a case. Using  
"continue" to fall through was rejected because it changes its meaning  
when there's a switch in a loop. You'd use goto <value> to jump to the  
particular (next) switch case.
