On the other hand, N2761 says, "A class with the final attribute will
not be allowed to be a base class for another class." which conflicts
with the wording it actually added to the standard. I'm submitting a
defect report through Lawrence Crowl, and, given that sentence, I
think the my patch does implement what N2761's authors intended. Does
anyone have any comments/suggestions about the patch?

Thanks,
