[swift-evolution] A Comprehensive Rethink of Access Levels in Swift

[Kevin Nattinger]

> Additionally, the design allows ‘final’ to take any one of those visibility levels as a parameter, to indicate that the type should be treated as ‘final’ at and above the specified scope. Thus ‘final(public)’ prevents subclassing outside the module, while ‘final(internal)’ prevents it outside the ‘private’ scope. For consistency, ‘final(private)’ is also permitted, although it means the same thing as ‘final’ by itself.

I feel final(public) could be confusing given how we currently have private(get/set). What about public(final)? That’s at least consistent with current access syntax.
