I think you misunderstood Roel. I am aware of the method name argument
override, I was merely exploring the different implementations and
implications of these two ARM blocks. The JDK7 version would have to
rely on a new interface Disposable being added to the libraries, as
the abomination known as checked exceptions (IOException) once again
gets in the way of simply using the existing Closable. Lombok couldn't
care less what it's closing and could in fact be used as a C++
deconstructor. Correct?
