It would be perfect to remove the final for it too. I think it could be done even in PHP 8 because the change is backward compatible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-09-24 11:28:39] ondrej at mirtes dot cz Description: ------------ Library Roave/BetterReflection (https://github.com/Roave/BetterReflection) has a goal of providing runtime reflection compatible API for PHP reflection classes in the Adapter namespace: https://github.com/Roave/BetterReflection/tree/5.0.x/src/Reflection/Adapter This feature is prominently used by PHPStan, and maybe other open-source users as well. In order for BetterReflection library to be able to be used in place of the official API via polymorphism, it needs to have the ability to extend core reflection classes like ReflectionClass and ReflectionMethod. It has been doing that successfully. PHP 8.1 introduces ReflectionEnum class, and unfortunately it's final. This change request is about making this class non-final, and also all classes accessible through that one like ReflectionEnumPureCase, ReflectionEnumBackedCase, and ReflectionEnumUnitCase. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81474&edit=1
