The semantics of `AutoCloseable#close` are "Closes this resource,
relinquishing any underlying resources." The semantics of `Model#close` are
"â¦_free_ up resources held" (my emphasis). I'm not sure if "relinquish" and
"free" are the same here. You can "relinquish" a resource without everything in
the system relinquishing it, which is what "free" seems to me to mean. And
then, a `Model` can be a view over some underlying resource, like a `Dataset`
or even some kind of remote resource. That might make things a little more
complicated. But I'm not very subtle with Jena's core abstractions, so my
qualms here may be way off base.
