I must admit I'm not entirely convinced about this change. "handle" to me
is very generic and it's not immediately clear from the source usage what it
might be a handle of. A later patch in the series introduces an additional
handle which includes a suitable suffix, which leaves us with generic and
specific handles within the code. Although it consumes an additional 5
characters, my feeling is that the additional clarification is worth it.
