Make Split implement AutoCloseable

Sometimes one may want to measure execution time of a method. In such case he 
may surround it's body with tr ... finally:

public int myMethod() {
    Split s = SimonManager.getStopwatch("myMethod").start();
    try {
        // method body
        return 1;
    } finally {
        s.stop();
    }
}

I suggest to modify 'Split' class so it implements either AutoCloseable 
(available since java 1.7) or Closeable (available since java 1.5) interface. 
In close() method implementation it will simply call stop() method. This will 
do a great job to improve readability in above case because it can be wrapped 
in try with resources if java runtime environment version is >= 1.7. The code 
will look like:

public int myMethod() {
    try (Split s = SimonManager.getStopwatch("myMethod").start()) {
        // method body
        return 1;
    }
}

I think it's an easy task. I can do a pull request or so. What do you think?
