You are right that we will probably wont have a choice but to expose
the handle. I would like to avoid that because if we expose the handle
it is not safe to close the handle once the ref count goes to zero. I
am thinking of instead returning a duplicate handle. I think that
should work really nicely.

I am hopping to also implement an SSLSocket (not sure exactly how the
API will work). It wont remove the need to expose the handle but it
should reduce the need for the user to have to manage the exposed
duplicate handle.
