+// In order to preserve oops during garbage collection, they should be
+// allocated and passed around via Handles within the VM. A handle is
+// simply an extra indirection allocated in a thread local handle area.
+//
+// A handle is a ValueObj, so it can be passed around as a value, can
+// be used as a parameter w/o using &-passing, and can be returned as a
+// return value.
+//
+// oop parameters and return types should be Handles whenever feasible.
+//
+// Handles are declared in a straight-forward manner, e.g.
+//
+//   oop obj = ...;
+//   Handle h1(obj);              // allocate new handle
+//   Handle h2(thread, obj);      // faster allocation when current thread is known
+//   Handle h3;                   // declare handle only, no allocation occurs
+//   ...
+//   h3 = h1;                     // make h3 refer to same indirection as h1
+//   oop obj2 = h2();             // get handle value
+//   h1->print();                 // invoking operation on oop
+//
+// Handles are specialized for different oop types to provide extra type
+// information and avoid unnecessary casting. For each oop type xxxOop
+// there is a corresponding handle called xxxHandle, e.g.
+//
+//   oop           Handle
+//   methodOop     methodHandle
+//   instanceOop   instanceHandle
+//
+// For klassOops, it is often useful to model the Klass hierarchy in order
+// to get access to the klass_part without casting. For each xxxKlass there
+// is a corresponding handle called xxxKlassHandle, e.g.
+//
+//   klassOop      Klass           KlassHandle
+//   klassOop      methodKlass     methodKlassHandle
+//   klassOop      instanceKlass   instanceKlassHandle
