The spec does (or should) say that HoldHandle is idempotent, i.e. one
call is equivalent to many calls. The intention and implementation is
that whether a client :1.42 is holding handle 123 is binary - either it
is or it isn't. So however many times :1.42 calls HoldHandle or
RequestHandles, it only has one reference to handle 123, and
ReleaseHandles([123]) is sufficient to release that reference.
