>
> Both checkstyle and error-prone can alert when a switch statement is missing
> a default. However, because checkstyle does it via static analysis and
> error-prone does it during compilation, e-p can detect when all cases of an
> enum have been covered, and will _not_ warn about the needed default case.
> In fact, checkstyle explicitly mentions in their docs that even if you cover
> all enum cases now, you should still have a default label because the enum
> could change in the future. Which seems silly to me, because your analysis
> tools should still be running in the future and would catch it then.
> Se we should migrate the check from checkstyle to a slightly smarter
> error-prone check.
