<?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.

php here.  Also mention that interfaces/abstract suffer from the same
problem, and should be removed for the same reason.

I don't see a reason or sense in "final" for properties. IMO it is only in 
there by
mistake.

Final and interfaces are ways to express aspects of an oo model.
When working in big projects you'll get used to such. If not feel free
to ignore the feature just like any other feature you dislike in php, too.
