Multiple values could be written

   case 'a':
   case 'b':
   case 'c':
     ...

without conflicting with the no-fallthrough semantics, since
a do-nothing case can be written as

   case 'd':
     pass

I don't see that as a problem. And all the proposed syntaxes
I've ever seen for putting the cases at the same level as
the switch look ugly to me.
