Or do we let it sit idle until the PC is garbage collected? (section 5.4 of the spec seems to allow us to garbage collect it if there are no handlers registered, but doesn't explicitly say that it closes when garbage collected). If we introduce a getter, people have a reasonable expectation that the channel should stick around until closed, even if they have not bothered to add event handlers to it yet. -- Surveillance is pervasive.
