Reserve the pseudo keyword 'fallthrough' for the ability to convert the
various case block /* fallthrough */ style comments to appear to be an
actual reserved word with the same gcc case block missing fallthrough
warning capability.
All switch/case blocks now must end in one of:
break;
fallthrough;
goto <label>;
return [expression];
continue;
fallthough is gcc's __attribute__((__fallthrough__)) which was introduced
in gcc version 7..
fallthrough devolves to an empty "do {} while (0)" if the compiler
version (any version less than gcc 7) does not support the attribute.
