Hmm.

If the goal was to preserve the ability to use the try-with-resources statement, then a utility method that wrapped a java.io.Closeable with a java.io.UncheckedCloseable would be needed, where UncheckedCloseable had a close method that was declared to not throw any exceptions and did the IOException wrapping.
