Well, the discussions at dconf convinced me. Certainly, at
this point, I think that the only semi-viable excuse for not
making functions non-virtual by default is the code breakage
that it would cause, and given how surprisingly minimal that

the kind of folks whose code Walter is most worried about
breaking are the guys most interested in the change.

Making everything final by default would IMO kind of break
automated mock classes generation for unit testing,
automatic proxy class generation for DB entities, and
other OOP niceities.
Yeah, everybody seems to ignore that. OOP is slow in general, due
to excess of indirections, so if its loose its benefits . . .
