While I forget whether they're actually pointers. I guess it fits given
that the C headers define it as void* and that handles are fundamentally
different from pointers from an app's point of view.
Under D2, core.sys.windows.windows has it as an alias of void*.
In the WindowsAPI bindings, the definition of HANDLE is versioned to
this effect.
But there ought to be a better way of dealing with it. Anyone got any
thoughts? Are there any plans at the moment for the future of the HANDLE
type?

I don't see a reason to create a "better" way other than abstraction,
which depending on what you're wanting, has possibly already been made.
