Oops, I didn't notice this response, sorry!

I did look at streaming-bracketed, but I think it doesn't apply in my
case, because the file lifespans are overlapping, not nested.  If I
understand correctly, that's the case where you need something like
resourcet, and brackets won't do.

In the end, I just gave 'take' a finalizer argument.  Not exactly
general purpose but it solved my problem.
