I usually start emacsclient with the -n flag, which opens the specified
file in an already created frame. However, if no emacs frame exists
"emacsclient -n filename" silently exits and no frame is created. I know
that there exists the -c option to create a new frame, but this creates
a new frame for every emacsclient -nc invocation, which is not what I
want (I only want to work with a single frame).
Do you think that it makes sense to automatically create a new frame
when "emacsclient -n" is called and no frame exists for the running
emacs daemon? (As I mentioned above, currently nothing happens) Or add a
new command line flag for this usecase?
