IMHO the universal handle (for e.g. IPC related handles and file handles) is not a portable concept to begin with.
I think the concept of a handle as an opaque type is universal. What isn't safe is any assumption of consistent behaviour, e.g. that select() may be applied to any type of handle or that a program's stdin/stdout might in practice be implemented by a socket.
