You lose, then.  The only use of the term "normal entry into a block" I
could find in the Standard is in 3.1.2.4, where it is contrasted to a
"jump from outside the block to a labeled statement in the block or in
an enclosed block".  The description of "switch" in 3.6.4.2 is quite
explicit that a jump occurs, and that "case" and "default" are labels.
