+ This is an abstract class for device handles which are responsible
+ for finalization i.e. to destroy underlying system resources, when the GC
+ frees an object which has created some system object.
+ Currently, these are forms and views (streams, cursors, colors and
+ fonts could also make use of this class - however, for historical reasons,
+ they continue to use their own private finalization machanisms. This may
+ change in future versions).
