i would have written ${1-} so -u can be used.
also: i really think that using terminators as "continuation"
ease the code reading because
* it makes code more aligned
* it's easier to spot a different terminator than ;;
case "${1-}"
in ('') do_nothing
;; (hello*) greetings
;| (*world) greetings # twice
;; (long)
multiple commands
comes in indented lines
;;
esac
