So we need a FinalPropertyPromotionRector, right?

public function __construct(
-   /** @final */
-   public string $id
+   final public string $id
){}

[samsonasik]

Yes, but seems need to be optional, since it means parameter can't be override by child. So, can't be part of php85.php set, user that want it need to apply manually.
