I'm also wondering if it might be a good idea to allow coroutines to override

finalize()

to

resumeWithException

rather than allow for the "abandoned" coroutine phenomina. I just spent a fair bit of time discovering a way we could produce abandoned coroutines and replacing them with an exception flow such that nobody simply gets left hanging (a form of live-lock I suppose?)

groostav: Finalize will probably be deprecated in 10 http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2017-March/046650.html

that thread describes cleaners and phantom references as OK, so i dont suppose this deprication is going to cause

FileChannel

to get a disposal-flow face lift. Honestly we still dont have a good solution to that stupid goddamn cleaner.
