Yeah I'd be OK with [[lifetimebound]] or maybe one of these:

1. [[generates_temporary_handle]]
2. [[lifetime_bound]]
3. [[temporary_handle]]
4. [[object_lifetime_handle]]
5. [[handle_lifetime_bound]]
6. [[dependent_lifetime]]
7. [[transient_handle]]
8. [[lifetime_limited]]

I wonder should we limit it to return values? I mean sometimes we have
functions like this:

    bool MyClass::SomeMethod( Handle &p );

The programmer passes an uninitialised handle to 'SomeMethod', and
then the handle gets set by 'SomeMethod', like this:

    bool MyClass::SomeMethod( Handle &p )
    {
        static Handle h = 0u;
        p = ++h;
        return p != std::numeric_limits<Handle>::max();
    }
