}As a side point, I like the suggestion that someone made that there be

So, you would like to have to write
        switch(var)
           {
           case foo: fallthrough;
           case bar: fallthrough;
           case baz: fallthrough;
           case mung: /* code to do something for all four cases */
           }
?

Or add yet another special case (automatic fallthrough if and only if there
is no code between the two labels)?
