By the way, this is why
1) %h_delete is indeed usefull ;)
2) there is no recursivity inside it. Indeed, delete() is called with a 
scalar argument
   from %h_delete. Then, the primitive is called. and %h_delete is called by
  a delete(H) instruction only when H is not-a-scalar handle. There would be
  recursivity only if the inner delete() applied to a not-a-scalar 
handle. It is not
  the case.

I do not remember having read anywhere in the doc that unsupported sizes of
supported data types can also be handled with overloading. Another effect of
confusion between "data type" (= property of the content) and data size
(or data format) (= property of the container).
