- <p>In general, you will want to have a 'break' statement within each
- 'case' of a switch statement. This allows for the code to be more
- readable and understandable, and furthermore can prevent unwanted
- surprises if someone else later gets creative and moves the code
- around.</p>
- <p>The language allows you to plan the fall through from one case
- statement to another simply by omitting the break statement within
- the case statement. This feature does have benefits, but should only
- be used in rare cases. In general, use a break statement for each
- case statement.</p>
- <p>If you choose to allow fall through, you should comment both the
- fact of the fall through and reason why you felt it was
- necessary.</p>
