Oh? We're going through and annotating all of Android's C++ source
right now with it.
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wimplicit-fallthrough

Though it looks like the attribute syntax I like from GCC is not yet
supported in Clang.

I'll take a look at adding support.

So Kees sent me this embarrassing example:
https://godbolt.org/z/gV_c9_
(try changing the language from C++ to C; it works)! That's embarrassing!

Will get these both fixed up.
