But `next` also needs to be able to do this, even though that could be a pretty minor issue in practice since `hasNext` is usually called before `next`. But if it isn't, I guess this means the cleanup isn't called, which isn't great. Yeah I see `getLines` doesn't block now, and see what it's trying to do, so nevermind that part. I suggest this could be a little more straightforward if maybe all of the cleanup logic (including exception handling were pulled out into a private method called from `hasNext`, and then also check the return value of `hasNext` from `next` (and throw `NoSuchElementException` if needed). That's nice form and also solves the problem of `next` needing to do the cleanup. All that is not directly related to change you're making but I wonder if it's worth cleaning up while you're modifying this anyway.
