BitmapDecoder bug
Known issue: Stream opened for Uri is not closed until finalized unless BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad set
Both overloads of this method contain a bug, where a stream is opened for the Uri, which is not closed until the bitmap decoder is finalized, unless BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad is set. Since there is no Dispose() method, there is no way to force closing the stream, except for removing all references to the BitmapDecoder, and forcing finalization using GC.Collect().
The workaround is to use the overload that takes a Stream, and dispose of the stream after you are done with the Decoder.
