Would be nice to be able to ask SWT at runtime for the currently
allocated handlers so that we can be a bit more reactive to the
currently available handlers instead of just using a hard-tab limit.

Display.getDeviceData().objects?

This only returns a value if tracking has been enabled, and it adds a significant overhead. It’s useful for tracking down some leaks but wouldn’t recommend using it for an application in real use. In any case, the set of objects here don’t necessarily tell you how many handles are being used by the OS, although to a first-order approximation you could guess on a 1-1 mapping.
