the parsing described in your comment sounds very reasonable to me. 
I'd be happy to keep the name that's already in telent-clx:
XLIB:OPEN-DEFAULT-DISPLAY, with an optional display-name that defaults to
$DISPLAY. (In CMUCL, this would be an alias for EXT:OPEN-CLX-DISPLAY).
We could also share XLIB:GET-DEFAULT-DISPLAY that returns (values host
display-number screen protocol).
