Description

Shouldn't be too tricky, and would help us potentially avoid a number of bugs. A follow up would be to enable optional ref counting (or at least leak detection) at run time for AutoCloseable objects, possibly only for those we care about, but also possible via bytecode weaving so that we could capture all of them without question.
