[TxMt] Indentation of switch/case blocks

My switch/case blocks (in Java, for example) normally look something
like this:
switch (foo)
{
case A:
bar();
break;
default:
baz();
}
Note how the lines after "case" and "default" are indented. (They're
not flush with the line above.) I believe this is a pretty standard
formatting convention.
However, it seems that TextMate doesn't know about this convention.
If, for example, you were to type the above snippet, typing "case A:"
and then hitting Return puts the cursor flush with the line above,
rather than indented. Likewise, if you were to take the above
snippet, copy some random text (that has a different indentation),
then paste it between the "case A" and "bar" lines, TextMate's smart-
indent feature makes the pasted text flush with "case A", rather than
indented.
Considering that TextMate is smart about indentation in many other
ways (such as when you type "{" and then hit Return), I was hoping it
could be smart about indenting switch/case blocks, too. Is that
possible? Perhaps there is something I could add to the language
definition? Thanks,
Trevor
