Whitebox.setInternalState for private static final fields

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

Can you please add the ability for Whitebox.setInternalState to be invokable on classes with private static final field?

Whitebox.setInternalState(ClassToTest.class, "LOG", mockLog);

I did not understand where is the best place to add a feature request. I hope this is the best place.

Thank you

Hi! Why would you even want to do that? It sounds like a absolutely terrible idea to do that. Can you provide some use case?
