+Query Handle Lifetime
+---------------------
+
+Each callback provides an opaque anonymous information handle which
+can usually be further queried to find out information about a
+translation, instruction or operation. The handles themselves are only
+valid during the lifetime of the callback so it is important that any
+information that is needed is extracted during the callback and saved
