/** Pre v3.1 Handle to a parameter. Kept for retro-compatibility.
 * @deprecated This class has been deprecated in favor of ElementHandle,
 *             Use ElementHandle instead of CParameterHandle.
 *             It is a api retro-compatible superset of the pre v3.1
 *             CParameterHandle class.
 * @note Achieve retro-compatibility with a derived class instead of an alias
 *       (`typedef ElementHandle CParameterHandle`) as the later would break
 *       client compilation in case of client forward declaration.
