Just curious: why in D we are not obligated to use break in every
branch of a swicth structure? That is:
switch (i)
{
case 1:
writeln("You wrote 1");
case 2:
writeln("You wrote 2");
case 3:
writeln("You wrote 3");
default:
writeln("I said: 1 or 2 or 3!");
}
is good in D, while, for example, similar code in C# is incorrect
and if you want to play with fall through you have to make some
trick. Again this behaviour of D seems a bit buggy, to me. Are
there design reasons?
Consistency with C and C++ mainly.
Some people find it convenient, but it is unarguably a frequent source
of bugs that we could do without.
