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).
