Closing the connection will return the connection to the pool regardless
of the status of other related objects.  The fact that closing the
statement and the connection doesn't completely close the ResultSet is a
bug, but not a terribly serious one.  Adding a check for every single
method to check some kind of isClosed flag is tedious and wasteful.
