That's still not unambiguous enough. Here's what I understand. There
are two properties to a Handle: connectable, and movable. One would
assume these two are orthogonal, so that there can be four types of
handles such as "connectable and non-movable" and so on. From your
description, it _seems_ that if a Handle is non-movable, then the
"connectable" property does not matter. So in fact there are only
three types of handles, because the two types that are non-movable,
actually represent the same set. Is that correct?

Big words, there! Assuming a missing smiley as usual!
