The 'Assign parameter to field' quick assist for constructors does not declare the created field as final any more. Prior to version 3.8 the field was made final.

Given this code
  class Foo {
    Foo( Object param ) {
    }
  }

Invoking the quick assist on 'param' would result in this code:
  class Foo {
    private *final* Object param;
    Foo( Object param ) {
      this.param = param;
    }
  }
  
Since 3.8, a non-final field 'param' is created:
  private Object param;

This requires to manually correct the quick assist code in almost all cases. Is this a bug or was this change made intentionally?
