We've had the 'init' keyword in C# for many years now.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/init

init evokes the context of initialization, which is not what C#'s 
'sealed' would have done.

'sealed' is D's 'final' btw - and both of those invoke an OOP 
context (structural inheritance and type extension).

I would have thought all the anti-oop people would have given me 
a +1 for suggesting 'init' instead of final ;-)
