I think that if you do some analysis you will find that the majority of switch usage is non fall through, so we have made that the default setting and this will mean less typing to do.
Jeremy argued at one point that switch with fallthru as default was the norm for many other languages. I wonder then, if we're to introduce and welcome those programmers into the Euphoria community, we shouldn't have fallthru be the default, to keep things somewhat similar to them and lessen the learning curve a bit. Yes, I voted for "without fallthru" as default, but I'm having voter's remorse. I think the option "without fallthru" will satiate the dissenters who don't want fallthru as default.
Just throwing that out there for consideration. I don't care one way or the other.
