Re: Adding ARM to Scala's standard library

Josh,

Thanks, I'll take a look.

BTW, with my sample "With" object, I later realized that different projects will 
want different behavior when close() throws an exception, some will want to 
silence it and others will want to propagate it if the try block didn't throw an 
exception.  So I would need a With.closeable() and With.closeableQuietly().
