[BUG]: Issue with `fallthrough` statement.

[Almas-Ali]

Describe the bug
Issue with fallthrough statement in switch statement flow.

Expected behavior
When fallthrough statement will match, it will execute everything next to it (all cases next to it). But, now it is just executing next case only.

Screenshots or Code snippets

switch 44 {
    case 42 -> print("42")
    case 43 -> print("43")
    case 44 -> fallthrough
    case 45 -> print("45")
    case 46 -> print("46")
    case 47 -> print("47")
    case 48 -> print("48")
    default -> print("default")
}

Output:

45

Expected output:

45
46
47
48
default

This is honestly how it should work given there is no way to explicitly break out of a case statement (as this is implied). If you wanted to print everything, just put fallthrough in every case.

TL;DR: this is intended and part of the semantics of fallthrough

[Almas-Ali]

The main reason why I wanted to add fallthrough is to make free fall behavior in switch statement like in C, C++ or Java language.

Yeah dude, I know how switch works. I also know how much it sucks

[Almas-Ali]

In this case we need a new keyword fallout which will make this behavior happen. I need this anyway!
