Req #63471 [NEW]: Make properties final on runtime

From: daniel at baz-x dot at Operating system: Any PHP version: 5.4.8 Package: Reflection related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Make properties final on runtime Description: ------------ I have developed a class that tries to mimic java like enums as much as possible (only the simple ones, see provided urls for the example). The only difficulty I got is that it's still possible to overwrite the static variables which makes the enum quite insecure. As I would like to keep it as much as it's like in java I would like to request for a reflection method to make properties final (at least for the static ones) like ReflectionProperty->setFinal().
