One of my intentions is that it becomes easy to see if two handles are the
same type with:
    if (h1.classinfo === h2.classinfo)

I wonder why you use ===, not == ? I mean, there is only one
ClassInfo object per class, so comparing references should do.

=== does compare references!

Is it so both for arrays and objects?

By the way, I've looked at default Object.cmp() - compares
references as well. So it all doesn't really matter. =)
