Thanx Andi, it would help me with the consistency of the CORBA mapping.

To be quite honest, I don't see a need for final classes.
Talking from my experience, classes which are designed to be final, often
end up being inherited from at some point or another. This happened to me
quite often in C++ when taking other people's/company's code and required
fixing their source code.
However, if you guys think it will help you I don't really mind adding it.
At least for consistency sake even though I think it's useless :)
So as far as I'm concerned you can go ahead and commit it. But I still
think it's better not to use it in the long run :P
