That's neat but doesn't `case` support fallthrough? So I expect you could just put your script in one big `case` statement and skip to the branch you need.

I didn't think so but it turns out it was added with Bash 4.0 (released Feb 2009). Instead of terminating the case with ";;", you terminate it with ";&" for fall through.
