This sucks too.
I would rename `object' to `unsafe_object_t'.

Simple things should be easy.
Typing [^_]HANDLER_FRAME (and making sure that "[]" are not special in
the tool chain) is harder than typing L_HANDLER_FRAME.
It also requires knowledge that the only other HANDLER_FRAME is
C_HANDLER_FRAME.
L_HANDLER_FRAME also lends itself to automatic search term extraction
easier, e.g., Emacs command "recursively search all project directories
for symbol at point".

However, this is not important enough for an extended discussion.

Have a great weekend!
