[fpc-devel] "Case statement does not handle all possible cases" Warning

[J. Gareth Moreton]

I was talking about adding "else ;" to every single case block that 
deliberately didn't have one before.  A lot of them were inserted into 
the compiler source recently (although a number of the new else branches 
also trigger internal errors too, since it should never be reached).

For any project that extensively uses case blocks, I felt that adding 
"else ;" came off as superfluous.  That's why I said it was bloat.
