  IMO "not necessary" is a real reason.
  That this adds public API is also a reason not to add this, especially because it will be fully superseded by the next free socket search.

  The use case for this is to not conflict with an already existing wayland display. As this only works if launched manually with a special parameter, it only works for the minority of users, which makes this a workaround or even hack.
  AFAICT (but I might be wrong) implementing the next free socket function shouldn't be more lines than this diff is and work in all cases and without user interaction.
