enum State
{
    init,
    done
}

void main()
{
    State state;
    int x;

    final switch (state)
    {
        x = 5;  // <- can never reach this statement
        case State.init:
        case State.done:
    }

    assert(x == 5);  // throws
}

I've run into this while adding some logging to my code. By accident I've added a print statement right above the case statements inside a final switch, and was puzzled why my code didn't want to log out any information.

The above code is clearly an error and I think the compiler should disallow or at least warn about the unreachable statement.
