There's two different kinds of fallthrough in C++. The most common is using the same code for multiple values. Rust already supports this by allowing multiple values and ranges of values for each pattern.
The much more rare use of fallthrough is executing code for one case, and then continuing on to execute the code for the next case. This seems to be much more rare. In fact, in my large Android application, I turned on warnings for this type of fallthrough, and out of hundreds of switch statements, only eight used it, and all but one was a mistake.
