(Yes there is no guarantee when a reclaimable object is finalize()-ed and
removed. But as an aside, I believe we all understand that relying on that
behavior is wrong? Letting finalize() close a stream is a bug for sure. If
we're suggesting that's the case here, that's bad. All streams ought to be
explicitly closed.)
