About the "final" keyword...

Hi!

I was wondering if it was possible to have the "final" keyword
implemented...

It would obviously only have the scope of the current nameSpace but it
could prevent programmers that modify the code to do weird things (such
as changing the value ;D ) with some variables...

This may seem kind of weird, but I am working on a project were
BeanShell would fit pretty well, IF it had this functionnality...

If that seems not to be possible, is there a way to achieve the same
result?

Cheers
Chris

It would be pretty easy to get this working... it was anticipated that we
would (on the list of things to do).

If you want to submit a bug report about (I'd consider it a bug, since the
keyword is there but it doesn't work) that would insure it doesn't
get missed in the future.

Thanks,
Pat
