Well, if you have a widget base with ID=42, and a handle with ID=42, then the
answer is that "the (long integer) number 42 is both a (valid) widget id and a
(valid) handle id", and there's no way to thell the "intent" of that number.
You know the number but not the question :-)

You'll have to have some other method to distinguish the two.
