It can be common practice, it all depends on what Windows does. There
isn't a standard mechanism for handles, various Windows handles use
different mechanisms: some are just pointers, some are index in a
table, some contain various flags, etc.  So it's up to the individual
dll to provide an implementation that is compatible with the way
Windows implements that specific handle type.
