Because D isn't Java.

In D 1.0, which is what you should be using, final only has a meaning regarding
classes and inheritance. See "Virtual Functions" at
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/function.html and "Final Classes" at
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/class.html

If you care about the beta 2.0, see
