Do I really have to argue that goto is mostly deprecated, and has been 
for decades? Lots of programming constructs are specialized versions of 
goto. Sure, a well placed goto can still be good in some error handling 
situations, but it's use should be limited.
Anyways, I find it interesting that somebody in another post said they 
already put //fallthrough comment in their code, which supports that the 
most obvious and simplest thing to do is make it a keyword. It would 
also make for a good suggestion in an error message: "fallthrough required".
