One of these things is not like the other ones...

MemHandleLock returns a pointer, so why are you assigning it to something
that's declared as a handle?

Right, that's because 3.5+ SDKs fixed the unfortunate (and meaningless!)
distinction between Handles (char **) and VoidHands (void **).

An _opaque is an implementation detail in the SDK that helps detect
mixups between pointers and handles. Me, I would have given it a more
informative name. :-)
