Up until fairly recently, if you gave Emacs any command line arguments
(e.g. a filename, or -f function), Emacs wouldn't display the splash
screen on startup.
I made this change so that users who always run Emacs with a file name
would see the splash screen. It used to be some of them would never
see it, and never learn the info it offers.
The idea is that if you are experienced you can turn off the splash
screen easily enough. Anyway, experienced users usually don't give
command line arguments that specify files, so you would have seen
the splash screen anyway.
