in reply to given/when one case prefixes another

If you want to continue into the next block, you can use continue. If you want to go to some other block, you can use goto, although jumping into another block is deprecated.

    The post by Neighbor shows that continue doesn't jump to the next body at all, but continues looking for another match.

    I didn't consider GOTO into the block to be a solution, though someone might show how to label the outside or something.

      Oops on continue. Iw as going by the docs, and they aren't clear in that area, so I naturally assumed C-like behaviour.

      Labeling the outside of a block statement is easy and legal. 

      FOO: {
   ...
}
