Great! Now can we make `final` the default for all fields, variables, and parameters?

(yes yes, I know, that would break syntax... but please come up with something to discourage mutability)

  What man that sees the ever-whirling wheel
  Of Change, the which all mortal things doth sway,
  But that thereby doth find, and plainly feel,
  How Mutability in them doth play
  Her cruel sports to many men's decay?

(Edmund Spenser, 1596)
