Re: [Vala] Request for new keyword "nobreak"

["Nelson, Jim" <jim yorba org>]

continue can be used when a switch statement is embedded inside a loop.

Why not something like continue?

Apparently this is possible in C# with the "goto case <label>" syntax:

Doesn't work in Vala, however.

I'm not advocating for switch-case fallthrough, but C# was able to provide it without reserving another 
keyword.

Hello. 

I am new to this list. Please let me know if I post in the wrong place. 

A long time ago I tried case fallthrough in Vala. 
It didn't work as in C, so I wrote that special code in C and the rest in 
Vala. 

In stead of forbidding case fallthrough all together, I believe a good 
compromise would be to implement a new keyword, nobreak, solely for this
purpose. 

Any ideas?
