It make no sense to use such an inherited class in a
polymorphic context, so why use inheritance at all ?
Am I missing something about what you're saying? Having a final
class is completely different than locking up it's functions:
abstruct class Actor
{
void create() {}
void update() {}
}
class Ship : Actor
{
final void create() {}
final void update() {}
final void fire() {}
}
class MotherShip : Ship
{
final void fireMissle() {}
}
void main() {
Actor[] actors = [
new Ship();
new MotherShip();
];
foreach (actor; actors) {
actor.fire();
}
}
If Ship was final simply because all it's methods where, then you
couldn't inherit it's functionality into MotherShip.
