No, I didn't mention anything about defaults. I meant for the criterion 
to override the container's blocking-semantics; the container's blocking 
semantics are defined on a per-ICollector basis...

Anyway, I don't know enough about how an implementation of these 
semantics would go; I just frowned at the fact that the 
IClosable(o).closed check was in the criterion, and not the box, which 
is where we said it would be before. I'm probably wrong, and I have no 
basis on which to make an argument. So ignore this. :-)
