+1, I linked this "match". How a name does the difference. I 
suggest to implement this one instead of. I think that it's very 
nice because don't make nobody confusing anymore or break D 
philosofy. some-statement should have an implicit 'break' 
generated by the compiler just like Pascal cases have (and rust I 
guess)
