 == `native_handle`
 
 A native handle can be used as well, which means an `int` on posix or a `HANDLE` on windows. 
-Furthermore, any object that has a `native_handle` returning that native handle type is valid, too.
+Furthermore, any object that has a `native_handle` function which returns a valid type for a stdio stream.

 Additionally, process v2 provides a `popen` class. 
 It starts a process and connects pipes for stdin and stdout, so that the popen object can be used as a stream.
