No, I'm talking about using it to write script files than be invoked
under the shell (bash etc.):

As you can see, while I do get the output, it also loads a lot of
irrelevant files and generates lots of output to stderr.

The -Q, -batch and -no-site-file arguments aren't accepted on the 
"#! /usr/bin/emacs --script" line.
