At present, there is no difference between a member function which is private 
and one which is final private. All private functions are non-virtual and are 
not overridable. So, final does nothing. If/When dmd is updated to match TDPL 
and make private functions virtual and overridable, then private functions 
_will_ be virtual and overridable, and final will be required in order to make 
them non-overridable again (and assuming that the private function in question 
does not override a private funtion from a base class, the compiler should be 
able to optimize it so that it's non-virtual just like private currently is).

But for now, putting final on a private function does nothing.
