FEAT: improved support for dealing with HANDLE types in extensions

Originally, HANDLE was just pointer, but I enhanced it recently to also being able define its type, so one can on native side test, type of provided handle and not just blindly throw some pointers as an arguments. In this commit it is reflected also when dealing with native extensions.
