I was wrong - it doesn't allow an arbitrary handle to be passed to a function accepting a 
specific handle type, but it does allow arbitrary assignment between them.  Defining an 
opAssign in the struct deals with the latter issue.


Anyway, what do you think of my idea?  Should it be put into the Win32 bindings?  Or would 
doing so break too much existing code?

Or should we wait until we have a library typedef and use that?
