API loose ends

[Brian Goetz]

Coming into this weeks meeting, we had three API loose ends:

 - comparing() overloads
 - collector+finisher combinator
 - Autocloseable

For the first, the EG comments from last week encouraged us to take another look at overloading and see if we can make things yet simpler.  Stay tuned for a proposal which would point to an answer on this one.

For the second, having explored all the alteranatives, I think the only practical choice is Collectors.comparingAndThen(Collector, Function).  

For the third, still discussing, will follow up on the appropriate thread.
