Handlers are NOT "objects just like any other", because that implies they can be [re]assigned and used freely just like any other. Which is not true.
That is an incorrect definition of “object”.
Objects are values that have introspect-able properties and respond to messages. Handlers have properties and respond to messages.
The fact that you can't perform an arbitrary operation that you would like to with a given type of object is a feature request or a bug report, or an inherent logical outcome of that object's type. For example, you can't interpret an integer as a record, but both are objects.
