A good use of a bad feature

[UNIX 4.2 BSD]

	While discussing various features and miss-features of C
	with my friend Charley (mangoe) Wingate recently, we both
	agreed that the fall through case statement is among the least
	defensible of C's features.

You will find much disagreement on that point, I'm afraid. Fall thru is
more flexible. You can always break, but often cases are related so that
a particular case requires a superset of another case. It is to DMR's
credit that he realized this feature. I sure wouldn't have thought of it.
