OK, I'm a little annoyed here because I find the whole concept of
'final' to be ridiculous.
The idea is that other (existing) code can rely on the behaviour of
the 'final'ized class. E.g. since Boolean is final, other code can
rely on the fact that trueObj.toString() is "true", for example.
Then why not make the toString() method final instead of the entire
class?
