I disagree. Let's discuss this on the bug so there's a good record of the
rationale.

I don't think it should be necessary to hand off channels between handlers
that live on the same unique name explicitly, and that's the intention
of the spec.

Handlers that don't live on the same unique name can't hand off channels
between themselves without adding API to the ChannelDispatcher, so we shouldn't
allow that in the C API until the ChannelDispatcher actually gains that D-Bus
API. I'll clone your bug to represent it.
