Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Groovy 6.0.0-beta-3

The old switch expression handling used to allow mixed yield and implied yield (see WEDNESDAY case below).  Is it intentionally changed to "`yield` or `throw` is expected" error?

import java.time.DayOfWeek
import static java.time.DayOfWeek.*

void test(DayOfWeek day) {
  int letterCount = switch (day) {
    case MONDAY, FRIDAY, SUNDAY -> 6
    case TUESDAY                -> { 7 }
    case THURSDAY, SATURDAY     -> { yield 8 }
    case WEDNESDAY              -> { if (true) yield 9; else 0 }
    default                     -> throw new IllegalStateException("Invalid day: $day")
  }
}
