Also,

class C { final: ... }

achieves final-by-default and it breaks nothing.

No, it doesn't, because it is not usable if C introduces any virtual methods.

That's what the !final storage class is for.

Please don't consider !final, that's like pouring lemon juice on the would. Use virtual, it's a keyword that everybody knows and expects, and already exists in peoples code that they might be migrating to D.
