lambda or reified lambda

[Zdenek Tronicek]

Hi Remi and others,

my view of annotations is that annotations add some "additional  
information" to the source code. It is "additional information" and so  
the annotations should not change the semantics.
So, should the final keyword be replaced by the @Final annotation?  
Certainly no, because the semantics of the final variables is  
different to non-final in multithreaded environment. The keyword is  
right here in my opinion.
