Can they reuse switch? In Swift they have pattern matching but 
they use the switch keyword for their jack-of-all-trades switch 
statement. Problem with C++ (and D) is that the switch statement 
is fallthrough by default. In order to fix this historical 
mistake they need a complete new keyword.

This is something to fix in D3, remove fallthrogh by default.
