Why do we need to support such a strange use case, except by the existing --dump-file option? Why wouldn't that user make only one dump file for all the 3 kinds of session? In any case, even if this use case is something we should support, it's purely theoretical at this time. Let's wait until enough people want to use Emacs in this strange way, before we invent a solution for it. > > I see no reason to increase complexity and introduce methods that > > expose system dependencies on the user level due to the issue that > > started this thread. > > AFAIK, the only complexity is to (optionally) skip the first page when > loading a dump file. That, and creating such a file in the first place.
