No, this has nothing to do with per-filehandle controls. This filehandle is
needed to prevent events from being sent to the filehandle that caused the
change (leads to nasty feedback-loops). Since get and try will never raise
control events I do not need the filehandle there.
It's patches 3/11 and 11/11 that actually add support for per-filehandle
controls.
