gcc has the annoying habit that it can warn you about missing enum
labels in a switch statement, but ONLY if you do not use a 'default:'
label.  Warning about missing labels is nice if you plan to add more
enum values down the road (then the compiler helpfully points out all
the code spots that need to deal with the new value) but with the
drawback that non-enum values bypass the switch completely.  So if you
anticipate this set growing, then s/break/abort()/ is all the more you
need.  On the other hand, if the set is pretty much fixed, then
switching to default: covers more cases including non-enum values
assigned into obt->fmt.
