   @garydgregory,
   
   You initial concern about `CloseShieldChannel` being overly complex due to 
its use of proxies was spot on: the current implementation does **not** 
correctly handle many interfaces (like `AsynchronousByteChannel`).
   
   While it would be nice in theory to support every possible `Channel` 
sub-interface, the practical utility of doing so hasn’t really been 
demonstrated.
   So in this PR, I’ve taken a step back and simplified the design:
   
   * Limited the proxy to implement only those interfaces that are actually 
covered by unit tests.
   * Removed the generic `T wrap(T)` method: it can **never** be implemented 
correctly without generating class proxies (and that would be massive overkill 
here).
   * Introduced a simpler `Channel wrap(Channel)` method plus a few overloads 
for the most common interface types (those typically returned by `Files` and 
`Channels` factory methods).
   
   In practice, the only real-world use case I’ve found so far is wrapping a 
`ReadableByteChannel` to consume and close a `ChecksumInputStream` without 
closing its underlying channel.
