Yeah, I think this might be cleaner.  -Wimplicit-fallthrough
-Wno-implicit-fallthrough will be passed to Clang, but "last one
wins."  A smaller patch makes it more likely to be revertable without
potentially having to resolve any conflicts.  Would you mind sending a
V2 with that change? You can include Nathan's Suggested-by tag.
