You've missed the point. Andrei made a proposal for eliminating
accidental fallthrough bugs. It didn't involve any new syntax, and
changed very little existing code. Anything which violates either of
those things has very little chance of acceptance. You've done a patch
which completely ignores his proposal, and which violates both.
Sorry I didn't know about Andrei's proposal. Buried in the NG.
Why didn't you just say that Andrei made another proposal and that
you're peeved I didn't use it?
Guys, guys. I don't even think I made that proposal, I'm pretty sure it
has been discussed before around this newsgroup.
Anyway, I think Chad's proposal has not been discussed here before being
implemented, which makes it more difficult to accept. On the other hand,
the fact that Chad implemented a change to switch means that he has a
good understanding of the implementation, meaning he could adjust his
patch to implement whichever design we all agree is suitable.
