How about single colon for continue and double colon for break.
The single colon would fall through. When the parser encounters a double colon it would continue until it saw the next case keyword.
This would be easier to parse and eliminates a lot of typing and extra wording and keeps it simple in the Euphoria tradition.
Actually, the new proposed syntax does not use : at all, it uses then, to keep with Euphoria syntax:
switch X do case 1 then ? 1 case 2, 3, 4, "John" then ? 2 end switch
