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

Well, goto case and goto case XXX both already exist. Both get the job
done. So, regardless of which would be better for fallthrough, we can choose
to use whichever we want in our code. As it stands, it becomes a matter of
preference. I'd love

The problem is, if Walter sees us bickering too much, he'll use that as

You are wrong, Walter is an adult able to understand discussions, not a

If efficiency is still sub-par, retro could detect that it's working
with iota and generate specialized code. That's not too difficult;
for integers, retro(iota(a, b)) could actually be a rewrite to
iota(b - 1, a, -1). Figuring out

definitely folks who would like a D precedence table to look at (the
