Bluefin naming: "handle" or "capability"?

To me “capability” somehow suggests singleton-ness. Whereas “handle” suggests that I could have several similar handles to different things. It seems more natural to me to say “I have two State handles in scope” versus “I have two State capabilities in scope”.
