             Summary: Groovy should have an @AutoFinal annotation
                 Key: GROOVY-8300
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8300
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Paul King


When defined on a method or constructor, all parameters of that method/constructor will be final. When applied on a class, the annotation applies to all methods/constructors.

Still to be determined:
# Should visibility matter, e.g. would it all to all public, protected, private members, or does there need to be some ability to customise?
# Should the annotation apply to fields/properties? Applying 'final' to a field/property seems to be more efficient than applying @AutoFinal but would there ever be a desire to apply such an annotation to all fields/properties?
