There are some questions about close().
1. If object owns several resources, should close() try to clean up all
them if error is happened during cleaning up some resource. E.g. should
BufferedRWPair.close() close reader if closing writer failed?
2. If close() raises an exception, should repeated call of close() raise
an exception or do nothing? E.g. if GzipFile.close() fails during
writing gzip tail (CRC and size), should repeated call of it try to
write this tail again?
3. If close() raises an exception, should the closed attribute (if
exists) be True or False?
