Comment (by carter):
Just to explain more, while in principal thats a great idea, that has a
lot of implications for the garbage collector, and it doesn't address the
fact that there might be more than one valid handle! (how does the GC
understand equality among handles?! ). Theres a lot of subtleties, though
there are probably some good experiments that could be done with the
garbage collector to explore this.
Basically: this is a research project, not a feature :)
