Proposal: Automatic Resource Management

[Rémi Forax]

This will require to introduce a new interface IterableDisposable or
something like that to ease the use of such pattern.

Also note that nio2 API java.nio.file.DirectoryStream is already
an iterable/disposable (using Closable instead of Disposable).
