I personally think a programmer should know what he or she is doing.

Assuming your idea of auto-closing would be implemented you'd have to
deal with the fact that you must re-open a connection any time you want
to use it. I think this would be even more confusing.

The main part here is a typically documentation thing, could you please
file an issue for making clear that a connection *has to be closed after
use* in the docs?
