31   * <div>
32   * Checks that switch statement has a {@code default} clause.
33   * </div>
34   *
35   * <p>
36   * Rationale: It's usually a good idea to introduce a
37   * default case in every switch statement. Even if
38   * the developer is sure that all currently possible
39   * cases are covered, this should be expressed in the
40   * default branch, e.g. by using an assertion. This way
41   * the code is protected against later changes, e.g.
42   * introduction of new types in an enumeration type.
43   * </p>
44   *
45   * <p>
46   * This check does not validate any switch expressions. Rationale:
47   * The compiler requires switch expressions to be exhaustive. This means
48   * that all possible inputs must be covered.
49   * </p>
50   *
51   * <p>
52   * This check does not validate switch statements that use pattern or null
53   * labels. Rationale: Switch statements that use pattern or null labels are
54   * checked by the compiler for exhaustiveness. This means that all possible
55   * inputs must be covered.
56   * </p>

61   *     and expressions.
