Me too.

I do like the C/Java feature where it will continue with the next case, but I dislike the way it defaults to that. I always put a "fall through" comment in my C code where there would be a "break" if I want it to continue to the next case. But it's annoying to have to carefully study code with a missing break when there's no comment about intentionally continuing.

switch (x)
{
case 1:
dosomething();
// fall through to next case
case 2:
doSomethingElse();
break;
...
}

So for those occasions where it would be useful for SELECT to continue with the next WHEN, an opcode to request that would be nice.
