I agree.  I think the problem is simply that none of the active
libMesh developers are MeshData users, so it's about all we can do to
keep that functionality from regressing; there's nobody who works with
it enough to make informed changes to what may be some flawed API
design decisions.

Looking over the code, I don't see any better close() method than what
you've already identified.  We could certainly use one, though; a
patch would be appreciated.
