Sweet, thanks! I’ve encountered another bug with this mode #28855, so I think 
until it gets its house in order, the best thing to go with is:
(if (bound-and-true-p display-line-numbers) (display-line-numbers-mode 0))

I’ve just discovered that linum-mode.el has been fixed to respect existing 
margins, so big love & thanks to whoever did that work. So, if linum-mode can 
be a good lisp citizen, so too can display-line-numbers-mode!
