Yes, please do it. Anyhow, the `emacs/etc/TODO' file already has the following item: * Add a --pristine startup flag which does -q --no-site-file plus ignoring X resources (Doze equivalents?) and most of the environment. What should not be ignored needs consideration. BTW, it would be good to add also a short option -D as equivalent to --debug-init because this is a frequently used option. And also to add a new display options --no-blinking-cursor and -nbc to disable blinking cursor. -- http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
