If breaking code were not an issue, the best solution would be
to make HANDLE a unique, opaque type (like a struct wrapping an

It would need to support assignment/creation from "null" though.
Oh, I think I remembered. I believe the proper solution is to
create a dummy struct type, and make HANDLE a const pointer to
it. Then it cannot be confused with other types, but still
accepts null assignments.
