I'm not sure how much detail I went into, but I certainly don't like the
handling. The variable scoping is really weird, and I think it would be
much better just to enforce braces:

switch (foo)
{
     case 0:
     case 1:
     {
        ...
     }
     case 2:
     case 3:
     {
         ...
     }
}

etc.
