Change Paginator and Pagination final classes to virtual classes
0%
Description
Currently the core-shipped Paginator and Pagination classes are declared final .
I want to override them to change a small detail in their implementation for my specific project. I can not do so because of final , but have to copy-paste most of it instead of just extend-ing them.
TYPO3 provides an API framework to extend on, not a "finished" ready-for-market software, so no public API classes should ever be final (only purely internal non-public-API classes may be final).

I am closing this issue. If there is a real bug, feel free to open a new issue for that.
there is a big discussion in the whole PHP world about using final in code. TYPO3 switched some parts to final, e.g. the VH (See https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-core/main/en-us/Changelog/11.5/Important-95298-FluidViewhelpersWillBeDeclaredFinalInV12.html)
especially if there is an API available it can be absolutly useful to use final even though I understand that copy/paste is a bad or at at least undesired habit.
