Holder is useless without delegation, interface inheritance, MI, otherwise
it quickly becomes an endless swamp of generic instantiations. Note also
classical MD case: channel-type x value-type (<=> handle-type).

BTW, protected objects are unsuitable for distributed interfaces anyway.
You need a background task to prevent blocking upon I/O. The usual
technique of re-queueing does not help here. The interfaces must be tasks,
rather than objects.
