:
: Breaks are required as John pointed out in C# even on the default case,
: because your code can look like this:
:
: switch (x){
: default: ...
: case 1:
: }

:
: It is part of the spec, so MCS will do the same thing MS C# does.
: Currently, I do not perform any flow analysis, so you *might* get away
: with not putting a final break, but that will change ;-)
