    This is a nice idea, but I think that `equals()` on state objects does not 
always work very well. On `ByteStreamHandle`, it is a bit expensive (compare 
all bytes, which may be up to a few megabytes) and on `FileStreamHandle` it 
assumes that the paths are normalized (upper/lower case, slashes, authority or 
no authority, ...). That's why I suggested to have a dedicated key. Then we 
only requite the key to be "normalized" so it behaved well for `equals()`.
