Fallthrough with coldfusion cfswitch tag?

Question

Can anyone point me to an idiom for intentional switch fallthrough using cfswitch?

My desire is for something similar the following to output "αβ"; currently it does the 'sane' thing and implicitly breaks:

<cfswitch expression="α">
    <cfcase value="α">
        <cfoutput>α</cfoutput>
        <!--- explicit fallthrough to next case here? --->
    </cfcase>
    <cfcase value="β">
        <cfoutput>β</cfoutput>
        <!--- explicit break here? --->
    </cfcase>
    <cfdefaultcase>
        <cfoutput>γ</cfoutput>
    </cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>

AFAIK, it can't be done with the tag based version. This line from the documentation seems to confirm CFCASE always performs a break:

"... You do not have to explicitly break out of the cfcase tag.."

However, the cfscript version doesn't. It behaves more like java's switch/case. After matching α, it'll fall through to all subsequent cases, unless explicitly told to break.

<cfscript>
switch("α") {
    case "α":
         WriteOutput("α");
    case "β":
         WriteOutput("β");
         break; // explicit break
    default: 
         WriteOutput("γ");
}
</cfscript>
