I've been using this to help deal with memory usage issues.

Hi. Just wondering. It is the thing that you've mentioned here? https://github.com/libvips/ruby-vips/issues/67#issuecomment-603048609 As I understand you said there it didn't help, only the GC.start did or something.

Wow that was a while ago.

Well, I have not run the benchmarks again. That being said, in theory a close method makes sense. In practice, more work might be needed to make it practical/useful.

Hi, good idea, I've been meaning to add this.

Could we call it invalidate? That's the name we've used in the other libvips bindings.

close is rather close to post_close, the name we use for cleanup-on-finalize handlers.
