-1. I strongly oppose this proposal and think that it adds substantial
complexity to the language with introduction of yet another set of keywords
that are similar to `final` and visibility modifiers, but work differently.
The proposal doesn't cover the behaviour of `final` and having `final` and
`overridable`/`subclassable` in the language at the same time would make it
more complex and harder to learn.
