Nobody is talking about forcing them final.  We are talking about annotating 
them with a keyword that documents their behavior (which is unintuitive for 
sure but makes sense when you think through how things work behind the scenes). 
 

Maybe we will figure out a way to have something better in the future, but 
until then highlighting the behavior via annotation is a pretty good option.
