This has probably been discussed before, as everything has,
but here goes :
What does

     switch(i) {
	...
	switch(j) {
	    ...
	    default: ...
	}
    }

    do if there is no case corresponding to i?
I can imagine even worse constructions like
    switch(i) {
	switch(j) {
	default:....
	}
	switch(k) {
	default:....
	}
    }
Or I could even add a 'goto default'.........
(Note: my C Ref Man doesn't say that default is a reserved word,
so using default as an ordinary label is perfectly legal)
