Off the top of my head, I can't think of a use for this technique. That
doesn't mean there isn't one. Maybe I've just never encountered a situation
where it would apply. It seems quite dangerous, though, to rely upon the
exhaustion of an iterator to release or clean up resources. What happens if
an exception is thrown while iterating? The Closure will never be called.
Seems a bit odd to me, though I may also be missing the great use
cases. I would also be hesitant to ever depend on this kind of thing
for cleanup, for the reason that you point out above.

Could we come to some consensus on this item in

put my $0.02 in as a comment. But, this one is
somewhat easy either way we
go with it. If the decision is to not include it,
then that's a no-brainer.
If we decide to include it, then it's not much
effort to do that either.
But, a decision has to be made. I'm -1 on including
it, as I don't think
it's a valid approach or all that common.
Actually, I think it could be useful as a technique,
if we put out of our minds the validness of the given
use case.
If we did include it, it would essentially be a
CallClosureWhenCompleteIterator.
So, I'm +0.5. However on coding matters, any -1 is a
veto, so it won't happen if you -1.
