'case' statement without 'else' block

Reports case statements without else blocks. An else block should always be present to specify the default result if no match is found.

Example:

# Bad practice case status when :active perform_action end

A quick-fix is available to insert an else block. After the quick-fix is applied, the result looks like this:

# Good practice case status when :active perform_action else # type code here end
