FWIW, I'm also in favour of fixing implementations here.

I'd argue that we can look at this either way.
It's kind of silly to allow the definition of two defaults in a switch statement, so the question is: Do we define silliness as normal and update the spec, or do we fix a weirdness in the implementation by updating the engine.
I for one, vote for the latter.

This is probably an issue with the spec, then: AIUI, the spec should be documenting what 5.6 does at present.

Description:
------------
PHP allows to define multiple default cases in a switch. According to the spec this should not be allowed:
https://github.com/php/php-langspec/blob/master/spec/11-statements.md#the-s
witch-statement
Test script:
---------------
<?
$a=1;
$b=0;
switch($a) {
default:
$b += 1;
break;
default:
$b += 2;
}
echo $b; //output would be 2
?>
Expected result:
----------------
parser syntax error
