SqlConnection implements IDisposable via the Component base class and
IDbConnection, sort of like this:

class Component: IDisposable
{
 public void Dispose(){
     Dispose(true);
  }
 protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing){}
}

interface IDbConnection: IDisposable
{
}

class SqlConnection: Component, IDbConnection
{
 protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) {
  base.Dispose (disposing);
 }
}
