No.
I am certain either you or Walter did in the last 'final by default'
discussion.
Walter got annoyed into approving this. It was a mistake. We can't add
language features like that.
Please no new keyword for what can be done already. It's not
proportional response.
Are you serious? There absolutely is a need and we've been over this a
thousand times.
Yes, and I have a good understanding of the points made, no need for a
rehash. There is an implied assumption that the arguments are so good,
anyone who actually understands them will agree with them. So if someon
doesn't agree, it bears repeating them. I understand the arguments and
don't agree with them.
Virtual by default will not change. Being able to negate the "final:"
label is nice to have but not a must. Adding a keyword for that doesn't
scale - it would mean we'd need to add one keyword to undo each label.
