That convention seems a little weird, but what works for different people. Normally case/break seem to light up in ides to help visually double check it has a break. Also not every language that supports fall through, supports having content inside the fall throughs. (C# I just learned recently, does not allow any code in a case that is falling through). My problem with languages trying to too strictly control stuff like this, is that this is stuff that should be handled in your code review process. Sometimes when working with old code, it's not really worth the time spent refactoring a whole switch when you need to make a small fix, vs adding a single line.
