handles have been around for a long time, though probably not my that name. For example, see unix's standard parameters to main(): int main(argc, argv) int argc; char *argv[]; that's ANSI, but it used to be: char **argv; which is a handle by another name. and in the end, anyone doing memory-management (in software) or generic data structures has to use them, or equivalent forms.
