Local variables are not, in general, final, unless you declare them as
such. That being the case, it is not redundant to declare local variables

What the compiler will do for you, is _if_ it can ensure that a
I too am in camp final too. You could say `final boolean useFinal = true`. For
all the same reasons Bill stated below.
