First of all: I was in earlier days very busy, so I did not manage to follow 
and respond to the debate on coding style. Now I will try gradually respond 
to individual discussed cases.

Here I would like to advocate for the previously mentioned principle braces 
even where they are not required. By this I mean that each 'case' consider as 
block => each case should to have brackets, including 'default':

do_something();
switch(foo)  {
    case bar: {
        a=1;
        break;
    }

    case baz: {
        a=2;
        ...long case block...
        c=4;
        break;
    }

    case asd: {
        a=3;
        break;
    }

    default: {
        a=0;
    }
}
do_something_else();

The advantage is that regardless of the size of the 'case' is easily traceable 
beginning of the block => editor can be used to trace paired brackets. With 
this would also not need white space between each 'case'. By the way, I wont 
give white space anyway. :)
