What do you think of making all the core runtime classes final except for Obj?
There are advantages to limiting ourselves to a single carefully designed
extension point.
This should probably be decided on a case-by-case basis. In
Clownfish::String I would make every method final but it might still be
useful to inherit from String and add new methods.
