org.ibex.js switch() statement

[David Crawshaw]

This:

<ibex>
<ui:box>
var i = 5;
switch (i) {
case 5: ibex.log.info("i=5");
case 6: ibex.log.info("i=6");
}
</ui:box>
</ibex>

Produces:

Detecting JVM... Mac OS X ==> org.ibex.plat.Java2
=======================================================
Platform: Ibex build: unknown
Main: argument 0: src/
argument 1: test
loading xwar
invoking initial template
test.t:5: i=5

Should the switch() statement fall through to the next case (like
Java)? I tried to work it out from the Ecma reference, but it's not the
most accessible of documents.

No. But this fact should be documented in the reference. This was
deliberate.

Maybe switch statement should be like this, but it's a bit of a break
from convention, and fall-through switch statements can be useful...
