Older compilers don't know that 'abort ();' doesn't return, so if you
put the default last they might generate a bogus warning. E.g.:
int f (void)
{
switch (foo)
{
case 1: return 12;
case 2: return 22;
default: abort ();
}
}
An older compiler will warn you that f might return junk due to
falling out the end.
Putting the "default: abort ();" first pacifies these compilers.
