I don't agree with this statement. Fallthrough-by-default is a typical 
feature of the C-syntax family of programming language 
(C,Java,JavaScript,...) but it is not for other languages. Fortran, Ada, 
Pascal (correct me if I am wrong) all have break-by-default. And I think 
Lua syntax is much closer to those languages, so I would prefer 
break-by-default for Lua if it ever introduces a switch case syntax.

Additionally I think fallthrough-by-default is error prone, many tools 
like Lint and Eclipse CDT actually warn you if you are missing a break 
after your case block.
