Nice idea with the otherwise. I first thought that this would break
case-statements that use otherwise instead of else, but then I remembered
that the case-label-blocks can and IMHO should be terminated by ; anyway.
At least problems can be easily circumvented.

I don't know whether we'll add it to trunk, but I'll at least take a look
at your code to give you feedback.

Oh, and please provide simple tests for your feature that could be added to
our testsuite (in tests/test or tests/tbs) in case we decide to incorporate
it.
Speaking of which: did you run the testsuite and compared the results to a
run without modifications?
(If you need help with running the testsuite or interpreting the results,
please ask, I have yet to write a wiki page for that...)

Regards,
Sven
