But if implementations were always able to force a good enough GC
themselves, it would work. hClose on a semi-closed handle would do:
garbage collect;
if the current end of the contents is still alive,
suck the whole rest of the file;
really close the file.
Combined with locking on opening, it should make lazy reading safe.
