Note, if comment is placed at the end of the empty case block, we have Checkstyle's limitations to clearly detect user intention of explanation target - above or below. The only case we can assume as a violation is when a single-line comment within the empty case block has indentation level that is lower than the indentation level of the next case token. For example:

        Handles a comment which is placed at the end of non-empty code block. Note, if single-line comment is placed at the end of non-empty block the comment should have the same indentation level as the previous statement. For example:
