+
+        Previously, the type of various HANDLEs are native Python integer
+        types. The ctypes library will treat them as 4-byte integer when used
+        in function arguments. On 64-bit Windows, HANDLE is 8-byte and usually
+        a small integer. Depending on whether the extra 4 bytes are zero-ed out
+        or not, things can happen to work, or break. '''
+
+    This function returns either `None` or one of the given `HANDLE` objects.
+    (The return value can be tested with the `is` operator.)
