In the meantime, I could think of another solution:
- create an interface that only offers those methods of the entity
    that are really needed for its "use", e.g.   EntityUse
- let the entity retriever method return the entity with a
    static type EntityUse
- Then the "use"-part isn't aware of the entity's Closeability,
    and as an extra bonus, calling other methods is at least
    hidden behind the threshold of an explicit cast..

PS: I just added the @SuppressWarnings, but I feel better now
  knowing there would be also a clean "OO"-solution.
