    Given that, taking into account the current frame when emacsclient
    connects does not seem like a good idea.

I disagree.  I think that what -c does is the right default.
It says "make a new frame".  Making it on the same terminal
is clearly the best default.

You can specify additional options to say where the new frame should go.
