This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-4.0
[...]
ee. The new `;&' case statement action list terminator causes
execution to continue with the action associated with the next
pattern in the statement rather than terminating the command.
ff. The new `;;&' case statement action list terminator causes the
shell to test the next set of patterns after completing execution
of the current action, rather than terminating the command.
So basically they can appear in place of ';;' and should be treated
exactly the same as ';;'.
