You would be able to redefine them in a derived class using 
override to tell the compiler that it was intentional. Final 
would remain as-is - final.

I think Walter made a good choice for the times when he chose to 
have functions virtual by default, but a system programming 
language should allow you to do dangerous things if you give the 
compiler your permission.
