Hmmm...an interesting point, but I'm not entirely sure what the semantic
difference in your statement would be when compared to my original wording.
Sounds like two different ways of saying the same thing.
After a 'break' there will be no other 'case' executed in the same 'switch'
block, so the current 'case' has ended - which by definition implies the
'switch' has ended also (since you cannot have code inside the 'switch' that
is not attached to a 'case', default or otherwise). Am I missing something
here...? Something subtle perhaps ?

spark a longer thread)
