It is intended behavior, but whether my intentions are correct or not
is up for debate.  ;-)  I am emitting the case body code because it
strikes me as being akin to a "fall-through" case.  I looked to see
what MSVC does with the code, and it too emits the case body (but did
not test gcc as I didn't have it handy).  Also, Duff's Device came to
mind as another example.

However, I'm still a Junior Language Lawyer and couldn't see anything
explicit in the language specification to verify the behavior.
