Description

A control's resources are typically managed by the control listening for 'onAcquire' / 'onRelease' events. The duration between an onAcquire / onRelease may be much longer than necessary depending on the project's design.

For example:

Control Client:

public void invokeSomeControls() {

ctrl1.invoke() /* ctrl1 acquires resources */
.
.
.
ctrl2.invoke() /* ctrl2 acquires resources */
.
.
.
} /* ctrl1 and ctrl2 release resources */

It would be nice to come up with a solution that allows the developer to specify a shorter onAcquire/onRelease period, perhaps even just for the duration of a method invocation of a control.
