Reading the comments it seems to me that using a fall-through C-type switch is going away from well-structured code. I have mostly programmed in Pascal-type languages (Ada, PL/SQL etc) where sturctures like this do not exist.

It is hard to see how something like Duff's Device is needed in a high-level language. (It is also difficult to see value in a GOTO statement.)

Being able to read my code 6 months later is more important to me than raw speed or extremely succint code.

Obviously not everyone agrees.
