Having something like "fallthrough" or "goto next case" would of

I think "fallthrough" would be a perfect keyword to add here. C
programmers will immediately recognize it. Switch/case are already
specialized keywords, and fallthrough can complete the set. It's
unlikely to conflict with existing source, and this is one case where
having a conspicuously long keyword is a good thing.
Finally, goto is ugly and continue is strongly associated with looping.
? It's most commonly used in error handling.
But, fallthrough actually is a goto.
