To me, this is very much like asking "Does UID == $DISPLAY"? And the
answer of course is - not in general.
I am asking so that the answer is a documented-- and thought about--
instead of being a nebulous assumption. For one, it will be difficult
to have true session-unique emulation support because those interfaces
used /dev permissions with no concept of session, only uid and gid.
