   * Closes a {@link Closeable}, with control over whether an {@code IOException} may be thrown.
   * This is primarily useful in a finally block, where a thrown exception needs to be logged but

   * If {@code swallowIOException} is true then we never throw {@code IOException} but merely log

   *   try {

   * @param closeable the {@code Closeable} object to be closed, or null, in which case this method
   *     does nothing
