Perhaps we could invent __builtin_fallthrough or some such. I like the previous suggestion of using "goto LABEL;". In fact, the warning message could explicitly say "use %<goto %D;%> to silence this warning".

At least if this will be part of -Wall. For trivial cases, it should be just a matter of checking the type of the previous statement in c_stmt_ends_with_goto.
