 I experienced a problem where a composite Device inside a tee_device was
 not getting closed when appropriate.

 The root cause of the problem is that the implementation of
 close.hpp::close_impl<closable_tag>::close() is not in accordance with the
 documentation
 (http://www.boost.org/libs/iostreams/doc/functions/close.html).

 According to the documentation, my closable composite should be closed
 when close() is invoked with an open mode of (in|out), but the code as
 written does not allow for this. The patch is attached.

 Thanks to gchen (chengang31_at_[hidden]), who pointed me to the problem
 location.
