this is funny as I also understood finalize as something else. It's
"finalize the construction phase", but my previous experience (and
thus expectation) with that name is something else, like GObject's
finalize 
(https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/howto-gobject-destruction.html).

so +1 on fixing that name as well :-)
