[Annotation trickery to tweak overloading]

For better or worse, using annotations for these purposes is off limits.

Okay, but I think we need some way to retrofit existing classes in a fairly uniform manner.

The Closable approach doesn't really fly. You probably want Process#destroy(), Timer#cancel(), ExecutorService#shutdown(), and some more. Looking for classes which implement finalize() should increase the length of the list. Many of them will free native resources, and doing as early as possible will increase overall system robustness and determinism.
