I tend to agree with Andrei on this - the proposals aren't fundamental or game 
changing, and are kinda just bouncing the rubble around (po-tay-to vs po-tah-to).

Implicit in your questions is switches will only be used on enums, i.e. all the 
values a type can be are known to the compiler. This is only true for a smallish 
subset of types that are switched on.

final switch : for enums

default : for everything else
