Closed form solution to x^(x+1)=(x+1)^x

From an elementary question in differential entropy for decision sequences...

Numerical solutions is: x = 2.293166287408052...

The equality is only well defined (with respect to its origination) in the real domain for x>0. There are obviously an infinite number of solutions in the complex domain.

I have found a continued fraction solution, but have not been able to come up with a closed form variant.
