Interesting points. I have one remark inline about the 'effectively final'
concept.

Can you give an example of this? If a closure references a variable, and
other 'seemingly disconnected' code no longer compiles due to the need for
that variable to be effectively final, clearly it wasn't *actually*
disconnected and the compiler just did you a great favour and saved you lots
of time in debugging.
