Given all the gnashing of teeth over the fact that Closeable's close method throws IOException, I can only imagine the pain that Disposable.close() throwing Exception will cause.

I have modified the proposal in light of Mark's example.  The only change is that the Disposable interface is no longer parameterized.  This eliminates the incompatibility noted by Neal; so far as I know, the revised proposal introduces no incompatibilities.
