You could provide supporting evidence by examining every use of switch in the 
dmd, phobos, and druntime source code, and see what percentage of those would 
benefit from your proposal.

Consider, for example, the scope guard statement in D. It is extremely useful - 
but it is an unusual form (doesn't exist in other languages) and programmers 
just don't think in those terms. Andrei & I constantly have to work at 'selling' 
the benefits of it. It still hasn't really caught on.
