'else case' condition in 'switch'

I think it would be useful to be able to write the following:

switch (thing)
case (is SomeThing) {
}
else if (is OtherThing) {
}
else {
}

To be able to handle the case that SomeThing and OtherThing aren’t disjoint.

Currently the only way to write this is:

switch (thing)
case (is SomeThing) {
}
else if (is OtherThing thing) {
}
else {
}

WDYT?

I assume it would be a syntax error: after the first else, only other elses are allowed, just like in an if (if you add another if that’s not an else if, that’s a separate control structure).

Must say that my first reaction is to agree with @Zambonifofex here. Not sure if it’s worth adding a strange new syntax just for this.
