Yep, agreed. Maybe a new hypothetical `exhaustiveswitch` keyword could be added that would be backwards compatible, but it doesn't seem very Go-like to have such similar functionality as separate keywords.

I believe new keywords are not backwards-compatible as they will invalidate any code using that as an identifier.
