I concur. Note that “case x, default ->” has the same property: it causes the `default` keyword to be an “argument” of the `case` keyword. I kind of lean against doing such things. However, if we are going to explore that part of the design space, I just wanted to point out that “return switch a;” has at least one advantage relative to “break switch a;”.
