[lang] static methods with final keyword
In langs StringEscapeUtils are some static methods marked with
final... it makes no sense to me to do that. I would like to remove
the final keywords. Any objections? not sure if this breaks bc (cannot
imagine)
Cheers

There is technically some sense of overriding static methods and RT
assignability, but I don't think it's very useful in this context.
