Chiming in to express my disappointment that `final` wasn't a voting choice.

1. It's already reserved, so we don't have to worry about a new keyword.
2. Another very popular language that is similar to PHP already uses it (Java).

I voted no for a variety of reasons, which includes:

  - It doesn't support default values, and doesn't defend that choice
well in my opinion.
  - I think clone should be able to change the value. It's similar to
a constructor, and in fact I'd call it a "copy constructor."
  - The property type is mandatory. I am less certain about this, but
do not like it.

I do appreciate the RFC, but think it needs a bit more work.
