Nice idea.
"goto case 3;" isn't the nicest syntax to step to the following case, but it
has the advantage that it keeps working if you shuffle the cases.
So this design is acceptable, avoids introducing a third version of switch,
keeps the minimal compatibility necessary for C. If other people like it, then
it may be implemented in D2.
Anyone sees disadvantages?
