I am not sure about making them final by default. I think it's a more consistent language design to allow `new final class()` as you originally proposed. Although I don't know why anyone would want to extend anonymous classes, we can see that people do, in fact, do it. I don't see why we couldn't allow `new class() extends $someClass` in the future to specifically allow them to do this. I mean, I'm not going to lobby for it, I'm just pointing out that is more aligned and consistent with other parts of the language, than to simply make it final by default.
