 gfx/layers/LayerScope.cpp? Some websocket thing?

 When enabled via gfx.layerscope.enabled=true, that code listens on TCP
 port 23456 for connections from a viewer application.  It is disabled by
 default but I think TCP is used to allow for remote viewers (e.g., for
 Firefox OS or Android debugging).
 See: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/LayerScope

 Maybe game developer would use something like this?  At least it is
 disabled by default.
