Related question, it seems that final methods are allowed in
interfaces. Obviously you can't implement them anywhere, so
is this also on purpose and on what rationale? :)
So actually it's just a question of not catching this mistake
early, because obviously compilation will fail when any class
tries to implement the interface so the end result is ok.
Maybe it _could_ just disallow final methods altogether to
catch the errors earlier. But very minor detail overall.
The idea between `final` functions in interfaces is to provide
a default non-overridable implementation. For example:
Yes, does make sense. I was looking this from Java 7 perspective
where interfaces can't implement any methods.
