I don't see a problem with recycling old handle values.  The handle
should be recycled only if it has been freed, and that should only
happen if there are no longer any uses for it.  Or are you saying that
because someone can do

  h = line ();
  close all;
  get (h)

and the get call will fail, that we should not recycle handle values?
I guess I'm a bit confused about what the problem is.
