Summary: Too many open files after many calls to Document.file

Initial Comment:
Making a lot of calls to Document.file will result in a "too many open files error". I think what is happening is that the parser isn't cleaned up until it is finalized by garbage collection. Calling GC.start from time to time supresses this error and is a workaround.

Really there should be a way of telling the parser to clean up its resources, and convenience methods such as Document.file should be using it. Perhaps even the parser should be expected to clean up its resources as soon as the document is parsed, I'm not entirely sure.
