Running emacs without a window, so that, when an editor is needed, emacs
can bring up the existing session with approximately zero startup
time. This is especially useful for applications that want to invoke an
editor on some arbitrary file (though you get nearly the same effect by
simply having the window that runs the server minimized all of the
time).
