digitalmars.D - final keyword?

Reviewing online docs, I see mention of final in a few places I don't expect
it.  Am I misunderstanding the current design?

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/declaration.html lists final as a storage class
option.  I believe variable declarations can no longer be declared final.

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/function.html lists "in" as "final const scope".

But functions can be.

I'll fix, thanks.

I don't believe the online docs discuss this subtlety anywhere.  The
declarations page doesn't even discuss the meaning of the final keyword.
