There was some debate at one time as to whether or not this type of function
should be passed a partition handle by copy (as it is now) or instead be
passed a reference to a partition handle so that the implementation can
nullify the variable storing the handle.  I assume that this comment refers
to the passed variable containing the handle value, rather than the
partition itself.
