However, additionally in the default format you can use
'fallthru' to let flow drop to the next case....
switch EXPR do
case VAL1 then
STATEMENTS...
case VAL2 then
STATEMENTS...
fallthru -->>> This makes flow fall through.
case VAL3 then
STATEMENTS...
end switch
So, if one considers improving D's switch, it is possible to have both
models if one is not frightened of new keywords.
For example ...
select (EXPR) {
case VAL1:
STATEMENTS...
case VAL2:
STATEMENTS...
case VAL3:
STATEMENTS...
}
would only execute ONE of the selected cases.
C# sort of takes this approach (by using goto case EXP;) but doesn't have
any generic "goto next" ability and I would find that very painful in some
template code.
