The subject has been beaten to death in previous threads on this
list... it's always been this way -- afaik there aren't any _plans_ to
change it...

you might try this:

<cfswitch expression="#exp#">
  <cfcase value="staticcase">...</cfcase>
  <cfdefaultcase>
    <cfif expression is othervariable>
      ...
    <cfelse>
      ...
    </cfif>
  </cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>

Also note the delimiters attribute in the cf-case tag allows you to
specify multiple values for a single case statement -- which may or
may not help, dependent upon your purpose.

Also the cfscript implementation of switch-case follows the ecmascript
rules (which are also the same as switch-case constructs in C/C++,
Java, etc.)

switch (expression) {
  case "val1": { ; } // this line will make val1 have the same result
as val1
  case "val2": { ... break; }
  default: {
    ...
  }
}
