Support braces for no-fallthrough

What version of ESLint are you using? 3.0.1 What rule do you want to change? no-fallthrough What code should be flagged as correct with this change?

/*eslint no-fallback: ["error", { "commentPattern": "[\\w\\s]*fallthrough" }]*/
var foo = ...;
switch(bar) {
    case 0: {
      if (typeof(foo) == 'string')
        return doSomething();
      // Otherwise, fallthrough
    }
    default:
      doSomethingElse();
}

What happens when the rule is applied to this code now? Errors: Expected a ‘break’ statement before ‘default’.

… Basically I am asking for the rule to support case statements that contain braces.

@cowwoc what @not-an-aardvark means is consensus from the team. Every proposed change has to be supported by 3 team members and championed by one. Unfortunately, in this case, none of the team members elected to support this change other then @platinumazure As @not-an-aardvark message mentions, we found that if the issue doesn’t gain support shortly after being created, it’s most likely will be forgotten and will never gain support required for implementation:-( That’s why we periodically close older issues.

This has been brought up again in #9080.
