It’s also in some cases forcing fields to be non-`final` when they could be <tt>final</tt>.</p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;; margin: 10px 0 0">This should all be stripped out. In most cases, the <tt>doDestroy</tt> method can be removed entirely. We should also check that fields are converted to <tt>final</tt> where this change means that’s possible.</p> </td>
