 In any case, that means that it could be made required to have a control

 that you didn't intend to put a destination for the goto if you use
 "continue switch" instead of a "goto case" without a destination).


 It's a small thing, but I think "continue switch" could be misleading. 
Consider this:

 switch (getState()) {
 case X:
      setState(Z);
      continue switch;
 case Y:
      break;
 case Z:
      writeln( "done!" );
 }

 Having never encountered D before, what would be your interpretation of this
code?


 Well looks pretty good to me to be honest.


So if the initial state is X, is "done!" printed or not?
