In D, if there are no intervening statements:

    case 1:
    case 2:
       ... code ...
the fallthrough is allowed.

    case 1:
        ... code ...
    case 2:
        ... code ...
Is an error. But `goto case` can be used:

    case 1:
        ... code ...
        goto case;
    case 2:
        ... code ...
which makes it clear. No new keywords are needed. C could adopt this easily.
