On a more general scale, it seems like it might be a reasonable spot for an
actual new case-block-specific keyword? I can't imagine it would be an
insurmountable task to do something like make the literal word "nothing"
(followed by a semicolon) act as "sugar" in the context of case blocks for
what a lone semicolon normally does.
For example:
type TSomeEnum = (A, B, C, D);
case BlahBlah() of
A: DoThingForA();
B: DoThingForB();
C: nothing;
D: DoThingForD();
end;
