Yes, sort of like final... but different.

I was thinking this is more for _public_ variables... so like internally, a class could modify it's own readable fields, but code external could read only.

I do like how C# handled this, FWIW.

  public int MyProperty{
    get; //public
    private set; //private-only setter
  }
but obviously there are a lot of ways to skin that cat.
