The tricky part is to handle iterations when easy handles are removed and freed
during the iteration. If we save pointers, this can become tedious.
Right, but it has the nice property that it is a fixed snapshot in time. When
you iterate over this list and remove handles or even add new handles to the
multi, this list is already created and remains unmodified.
Almost all other iterating APIs will be harder to document and possibly to use,
when you remove and add handles while traversing the handles.
Yes, that is why I propose a snapshot (internal, invisible) of the transfer
ids. Then the caller can even free handles during iteration without headaches.
Internally managing a snapshot can also be a headhache and adds a
processing overhead that will be unused in most cases.
I think letting the array update to the caller's responsibility is much
simpler and does not bring much bloat to the calling program.
