suppressedException semantics

It might not be more important, but it might be the only one that you
can spot by looking at the code:

try(Reader reader = new FileReader("contents.txt"))
{
   char[] buf = new char[1000];
   int read;
   while(0 < (read = reader.read(buf)))
  {
   // Do something
  }
}

Wouldn't you want the above block to re-throw exceptions from the
constructor or from 'read', rather than from an 'invisible' exception
source?

(See also my other post suggesting that the compiler might be more
helpful in pointing at 'hidden' exception sources)
