The window will be > maximized quickly, like "emacs --maximize". I'm not sure I understand the need for these methods. Doesn't F11 do this job on all GUI subsystems we support? And if you are talking about starting with a maximized frame, then why aren't "emacs --maximize" and/or X resources (and their Registry emulation on MS-Windows) good enough? IOW, before describing your suggested solutions, and for the FAQ on top of that, could you please describe the problem in more details, specifically for each GUI environment/toolkit where you see a problem?
