You can say that if you want, but you made the point that your think the macro
as you have written is more readable.  You example illustrates though that /*
fallthrough */ is a pretty common comment, and not prefixing it makes it look
like someone didn't add a comment that they meant to.  The __ prefix is standard
practice for defining macros to attributes (212 instances of it by my count).  I
don't mind rewriting the goto labels at all, but I think consistency is
valuable.

Hey Neil.

Perhaps you want to make this argument on the RFC patch thread
that introduces the fallthrough pseudo-keyword.
