What I had in mind when I wrote that was the re-assignment of a 
variable, not the first assignment of a final variable, and I expressed 
that incorrectly. It is indeed legal to declare a final variable and 
then assign a value to it, but because you can assign that value only 
once, it's actually an initialization, not an assignment.
