? When I do a ``switch'' in C, emacs indents the case statements
? incorrectly.   Similarly, emacs indents my label statements
? incorrectly.    Sample:

?     switch( foo ) {
?       case bar :
? 	  farf();
? 	  break;
? 	  

[rest of example deleted]

? The problem turns out to be quite trivial.   c-mode doesn't believe
? that there can be a space between the label and the colon.

And neither do I. What, pray tell, prompted this bizarre style?
To me, the colon looks like part of a ?: expression.
What you do with parentheses is strange as well.
Oh, well, I guess it takes all kinds.
