Make core classes final

[PaulWoitaschek]

Is there any reason classes like AdapterDelegatesManager are not final? They really do not look like they are built for inheritance.

Good point, they should be final.

Such a change would contradict #22 as @rubenweerts made such changes to allow subclassing of AdapterDelegatesManager. I'm wary of the change made in that PR as is evident by the most recent comment but I would be interested in the use case of subclassing AdapterDelegatesManager as described by @rubenweerts.

I don't want to make the whole class final, but rather the implementation details like methods such as addDelegate() ... But yeah, maybe a subclass would like to override this, although I'm not sure in which use case inheritance is needed at all (therefore making whole class final would be ok) ...

If you set the implementation detail methods to final, wouldn't it just be preferable to set the whole class to final and favour composition over inheritance?

I'd like to see a usecase where overwriting makes sense. I think that if you overwrite something right now you are speculating about the internal implementation.
