>Description:
Currently -Wswitch requires that a switch not
have a default case. This isn't always the most
useful thing though. In my situation, I have a
bytecode interpreter. I'd like to use -Wswitch to
ensure that I haven't left out a bytecode. But
I'd also like to have a default case so that
erroneous bytecodes are caught.
I think -Wswitch should be augmented to allow this case.
Perhaps a new -Wswitch-default flag could be added.
