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.
