But file_handle is not used only for input. There are a lof of other things that can be done with handle. Getting stat, for example, or seeking. It's possible to do it with FILE * and with php_stream, but not with the result of the fixup function. Actually, after fixup function it is impossible to do anything but read and close with the handle. I think it's very wrong.

But this means if you get a file handle which is ZEND_HANDLE_STREAM, you cannot use it as a stream - it might be result of stream open, in which case handle is php_stream *, or result of fixup, in which case is't FILE *.
