Dunno.

I agree it's kind of ugly, but it should always work.

I think the generic problem is introducing a new unprefixed
reserved identifier.  Underscored identifiers are reserved.

There is already a fallthrough: label used in kernel sources
in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c that should probably be changed.
