Not in consuming PHP from a higher level app.  But for PHP's dependencies
where you have explicit contracts to free() what is returned to you from
some library, share other crt-managed objects, you are correct.

Don't confuse fd's and FILE * objects with Handles; those are completely
safe to share and hand off, because they are Win32/NtDll objects not
managed by the crt.

It's a Bad Idea (tm) if you aren't paying attention, that's for certain :)
