I am agnostic about which word is used, so I would open up for suggestions if others think there is
a better word than fallthrough.
As far as I care, it could be any of the following[1] as long as the functionality was the same
(this is me being a little tongue-in-cheek here):
- proceed
- carry_on
- persevere
- keep_going
- go_ahead
- advance
- go_forward
- keep_on
- furthermore
-Mike
