Ok. So the lambda needs to reference a field of the `this` in order to capture
`this`. I guess that's why you see hacks like this:
// Register a cleaning function to close the handle
final long local_handle = handle; // local to prevent capture of this
CleanerFactory.cleaner().register(this, () ->
closeHandle(local_handle));
