I have removed the text in the class description, regarding clarifying in the
method description that the Java Language is the one that does not allow value
classes to declare the method, well there is not such reference in the
`finalize` method of `Enum` class. I guess that if we use `Enum` as a precedent
then probably there shouldn't be an explicit reference to the JLS?
