For in-core code that is supposed to handle all cases I find it much
better to get a compiler warning than to error out in a default:
case. The latter is very likely not going to be exercised by any test
and thus not be noticed for prolonged time.
Might make sense to test for -Werror=switch and add that to the compiler
flags by default.
