I guess it would make sense to try and distinguish the two cases:
- Eager: `emacs --daemon` is run (typically from something like a login
script or systemd) before any emacsclient is involved.
- Lazy: `emacs --daemon` is started on-demand by the `-a` option
of `emacsclient` (or via ALTERNATE_EDITOR).
In the lazy case, we could kill the daemon when the last client exits.
