Great idea(s) - I've attached files/patches to the bugzilla ticket as a possible starting point for this. I hope I haven't stepped on anyones toes.

I'm thinking you would want to both close the resources used by the iterator when it has served up the list line in the file AND allow the resources to be explicitly closed so that a file could be partially processed. I would also add the ability to explicitly close the iterator by introducing an appropriately named interface that the returned iterator would also implement. This would allow users that don't want to explicitly close the iterator to simply use an instance of java.util.Iterator and only require users who want to explicitly close to cast to the introduced interface.
