> The current timeout semantics are a little "magical":
>  * 0 means to block forever
>  * negative numbers cause the close to complete immediately without checking the state
> I think this would make more sense:
>  * reject negative numbers
>  * make 0 just signal and return immediately (after checking the state once)
>  * if I want to wait "forever", I can use {{ofYears(1)}} or {{ofMillis(Long.MAX_VALUE)}} or some other intuitively "long enough to be forever" value instead of a magic value.
