That's not fall-through, one case is *inside* the 'if' clause of another one!! Wow. Do you really want to encourage that sort of thing?
I think it's more the #if that obfuscates the code. After long experience with #if, I really don't like it, which is why I adamantly resist having fine-grained conditional compilation in D.
The optimizer/code generator has a lot of awful #if's in them, generally as a result of it being hackishly ported to other platforms.
I'm not going to stand up and say the optimizer/code gen is a fine example of elegant software (it isn't), just that it *works* and is remarkably free of bugs.
