All good points. Minor comments inline.

|This may well be needed, especially if we prohibit fallthrough from a
colon label into a arrow label.
Another case where a simliar problem arises is this:
case null:
case String s:
// whoops, s is not DA here
Really, we'd like to say
case null s, String s:
or
case (null | String) s:
or something similar. We don't have to cross this until we get to type
patterns, but it's on the horizon.
