+// The FALLTHROUGH_INTENDED macro can be used to annotate implicit fall-through
+// between switch labels:
+//  switch (x) {
+//    case 40:
+//    case 41:
+//      if (truth_is_out_there) {
+//        ++x;
+//        FALLTHROUGH_INTENDED;  // Use instead of/along with annotations in
+//                               // comments.
+//      } else {
+//        return x;
+//      }
+//    case 42:
+//      ...
+//
+//  As shown in the example above, the FALLTHROUGH_INTENDED macro should be
+//  followed by a semicolon. It is designed to mimic control-flow statements
+//  like 'break;', so it can be placed in most places where 'break;' can, but
+//  only if there are no statements on the execution path between it and the
+//  next switch label.
+//
+//  When compiled with clang in C++11 mode, the FALLTHROUGH_INTENDED macro is
+//  expanded to [[clang::fallthrough]] attribute, which is analysed when
+//  performing switch labels fall-through diagnostic ('-Wimplicit-fallthrough').
+//  See clang documentation on language extensions for details:
+//  http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#clang__fallthrough
+//
+//  When used with unsupported compilers, the FALLTHROUGH_INTENDED macro has no
+//  effect on diagnostics.
+//
+//  In either case this macro has no effect on runtime behavior and performance
+//  of code.
