i am not sure if it is "even better", though it certainly has its uses.

actually this example belongs to the only group of objects where i can 
see the use for a closebang.
the other important family would be freeing ressources (memory, 
ports,...) which currently can only be reserved via external code and 
thus can also be released via external code (where we already have 
destructors)
