case A, B, C:

(1) "case A, B, C:" implies a relationship between A, B, and C, which

(2) it's an extremely common coding style in C, C++.
(3) it's more difficult to read.
(1) case A:

implies that there is no relationship between A,B, and C, but which
might actually exist. They may have something common.
