Hmm... POSIX describes them as terminators :-)

	The compound-list for each list of patterns, with the possible
	exception of the last, shall be terminated with ";;".

Although, bash.info is inaccurate here (clearly Bash does implement the
POSIX behaviour otherwise the existing code wouldn't work):

	Each clause must be terminated with `;;', `;&', or `;;&'.  The
	WORD undergoes tilde expansion, parameter expansion, command
	substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote removal before
	matching is attempted.  Each PATTERN undergoes tilde expansion,
	parameter expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic
	expansion.

	There may be an arbitrary number of `case' clauses, each terminated
	by a `;;', `;&', or `;;&'.  The first pattern that matches
	determines the command-list that is executed.


I'll drop this patch in the re-roll since it isn't necessary.
