Currently, fields with L-descriptors are never flattened even the final ones. There are some non-trivial problems to be solved regarding their status before initialization and until we have a good solution to those problems, the safest option is to not flattened them.

null initialized L descriptor final fields may be tricky to handle, being pessimist looks appropriate in this case.
