Thanks, Michael.
My understanding is that close also calls decRef. So if I never call
incRef, I also can call decRef one time, the decRef actually close the
reader since the ref counter is decreased to 0.
So if we call incRef n times, can I call decRef n+1 times to close the
reader without call close, since I don't know when the ref counter is 1?
