void close()

    Cleanly and promptly shut down this object, as well as all child objects and objects depending on this one.

    close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable
    
    Implementation-Requirements
    
    implementations should attempt to shut down promptly but still perform cleanup if possible. There is not currently a timeout mechanism, so use your judgment.
    If any child objects are also Shutdownable, implementations should call close() on them as well.
