I have a suggestion for the with-open macro.  It calls .close when it's
finished.  I'd like it to have a (defmulti close type) so it's behavior is
extensible.  A standard method could be defined for java.io.Closeable and a
:default method with no type hint.  I've come across a few cases where some
external library defines what is essentially a close method but names it
shutdown or disable, etc., and defining my own close method would be much
easier than rewriting with-open.  This would also allow people to eliminate
reflection for classes like sql Connection that were created before
Closeable.

I'll submit a patch if it's wanted.  This would fit in core, or maybe
contrib.duck-streams with a slightly different name.
