Description:


This is used as a finalization handle for views - in previous systems,
a shallowCopy of a view was responsible to destroy the underlying
devices view. To make the memory requirements smaller and to speed up
view creation a bit, this lightweight class is used now, which only
keeps the device handle for finalization.
