- readonly variables, even called "lazy const". constant variable, not rebindable but value must not assign by declaration. Syntax: readonly int i;

In the (unlikely) case you didn't know: the name for this feature in Eiffel is "once" variable.

Changed. ReadOnly is now Once.
Furthermore I improved the Elvis operator. You can now write:
Foo f;
Foo f2 = f !is null ?: new Foo();
This will be translated to:
Foo f2 = f !is null ? f : new Foo();

Only the valid identifier will be taken.
But take care of this. If you write int[] arr = other_arr.length ?: [1, 2, 3]; You don't get only 'other_arr', but 'other_arr.length'. This is because of using member functions/propoerties with elvis operators.
