But again, there is no reason for it to be unreliable, we "just" have to add
the relevant missing protocol bits to make it reliable.

Yet I am not entirely convinced "get_monitor_at_window()" is not useful, even
more when there is no global coordinates like in Wayland, it's pretty much the
only remaining way to identify the monitor, unless we reckon identifying the
monitor is not something clients shouldn't be able to do.
