This part has come up before, as the default behaviour of fall through is a nasty gotcha for when you forget to put break. I can't find the conversation right now, but the discussion was around a 'select' keyword. I think the conversation didn't proceed as it seemed like adding a new keyword just to fix the fall-through behaviour was a bad tradeoff. This RFC idea adds more capabilities, so is a better trade-off, and more likely to be worth doing in my opinion. > One downside, since PHP doesn’t implicitly return the last statement > as some languages do there’s no obvious way to do multi-statement cases. People are still working on and hoping for short-closures. That RFC and any potential one for this, should attempt to use the same syntax.
