Maybe you are right and there are others, too.

Is off-topic, but I won't understand why D did not choose to
explicitly declare intentions of "break" or "fall" after branches in
switch statements (while dropping implicit "fall").

It won't break existing or inherited (from C) code. It will just
signal that it is illegal and force the programmer to revise it and
to make sure it behaves as intended.
