So Walter, with this you can keep your beloved fall-through.
Now can the rest of us be spared the nasty fall-through bugs, please
please please??
Also, about assert(0)... I'd be happy to change what I did if Walter and
associates feel that adding assert(0) to the list is worth its minor
complications.
(Sorry I don't have a patch for properties, but that one's harder.)

Things like
case A:
case B:
foo();
break;
do not involve fallthrough bugs. If there's a bug in that code at all,
it's that case A doesn't do anything. Empty case statements are not
bug-prone.
The thing is, that with the "goto case" syntax, D already has support
for explicit fallthrough. No new syntax is required.
BTW accidental fallthrough can be detected in the parse step, no
semantic analysis is required, which makes it particularly easy to
implement in a lint tool.
