Yes, I'm already aware of this comment.  That's why I haven't proposed to use
`command-switch-alist' directly to process "--no-desktop".

Only the first solution loads desktop.el, and I agree that it is not
a good solution.  The remaining two solutions don't load desktop.el.
They use the autoload cookie.  This means that at the time startup.el
starts processing command switches, it already has "--no-desktop"
in `command-switch-alist' without loading desktop.el.  The effect is
exactly the same as adding "--no-desktop" to the local variable
`longopts' in `command-line-1'.  I think not using package-specific
switches in startup.el gives better modularity.
