It's also possible that the newly exposed final field has a type that has a
subclass that isn't designed for serialization. Or it might technically be
serializable but actually sending it over the wire doesn't work right for
whatever reason. Or perhaps it causes a GWT app's size to blow up because
now we're trying to serialize the world. So yes, all sorts of things could
go wrong, particularly in extremely complicated and buggy code like GWT-RPC.

In principle, a refactoring of GWT-RPC to send some kind of context object
all the way through seems like a good change since we might use it for
other config settings. (Though it's probably something that we should land
as a separate CL.)
