Once you have a Reviewer then you can finalize it.

One thing that we haven't discussed is equality. If someone invokes 
FileChannel.map with a map mode created with new MapMode("READ_WRITE") 
then it will throw UOE as it's not (reference) equal to 
MapMode.READ_WRITE. It's implied by the javadoc "One of the constants 
..." but now that it is extensible then we may need a statement in the 
javadoc - do you want me to suggest something?
