<?php
class foo {
    final public $bar = 10;
}

$f = new foo;
$a = 'bar';
$f->$a = 20;
echo $f->bar;
?>

outputs :

20

Final needs to be runtime.

PS: Insert mention of how this feature doesn't belong in a language like
php here.  Also mention that interfaces/abstract suffer from the same
problem, and should be removed for the same reason.
