Proposal: Automatic Resource Management

Sean,

How about this:

try (Table table = new Table("Ex")) {
    for (Row row : table) {
    }
}

Wouldn't this allow the table to be automatically be disposed, plus
automatically dispose each row?

PS: Josh, didn't you once publish your ARM proposal under
http://docs.google.com? I may be wrong, but I thought you kept the
most-current copy on the web somewhere.
