FileTemplateLoader doesnt close reader ?

I took a peek at FileTemplateLoader.java and notices that
the closeTemplateSource() is empty method.
Is it okay not to close the Reader returned from getReader() ?

I am asking this because i am trying to mimic the best practice when
creating a custom TemplateLoader.

In my case, when following the instruction to auto-escape in here :
http://watchitlater.com/blog/2011/10/default-html-escape-using-freemarker/ :

- I found out that closing the reader returns an empty page after the
process. Commenting the IOUtils.closeQuietly() solves the empty page
problem.
- So i thought maybe i should close the reader (maybe through a ThreadLocal
storing the reader) in the closeTemplateSource()
- So i peeked the FileTemplateLoader for an example, and thus this post to
clarify.

Please share your thoughts.

Thank you,
Albert Kam
