public interface Disposable

Interface for classes that can be disposed, i.e. that have a dedicated lifecycle step to "destroy" the object. On reason for this is for example to release native resources. From this point, the interface fulfills a similar purpose as the Closeable interface, but sometimes both should be represented as isolated, independent lifecycle steps.
