$ emacsclient --help
Usage: emacsclient [-a ALTERNATE-EDITOR] [-n] [--no-wait] [+LINE[:COLUMN]] FILENAME

OK, but actually FILENAME[s]
And the man and Info "Invoking `emacsclient'" could go into detail
about invoking upon more than one file.  The program apparently does
bury-buffer, and needs several C-x #'s.

Info could discuss merits of --alternate-editor=emacs itself, i.e., if
not running, start it...

The emacsclient man page, at least here on debian, doesn't mention -a.
