Subject: Re: declaring classes as static or final
From: michael.virnstein@brodos.de (Michael Virnstein)

i don't any experience with java, but i ran into a case, where this 
would have been useful. And i disagree with the "too much was added 
already". I think that php, dispite all the added stuff, is still easy 
to learn, easy to read and easy to work with. PHP simply got more 
powerful and i hope it'll grow further. Adding the things i mentioned 
would simply mean more control on the implementation of a class. It 
wouldn't get more complicated in any way and there'd be noone forcing 
you to use those things. You would simply have tools to enforce some 
rules, which is not a bad thing.
