Drumroll - and now the conclusion:

emacs and the X Window System
tip: Since version 19, GNU emacs has fully embraced the X Window
System environment. If you start emacs from a terminal emulator
window running in a graphical environment, you will bring up the X
interface (GUI) to emacs. This book does not cover the graphical
interface; use the -nw option when you start emacs to bring up the
textual interface in any environment. See "Starting emacs" below.

Mark G. Sobell: "A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and
Shell Programming" (third edition, 2012), page 216.

(He spells Emacs with a lowercase "e", perhaps to make it
consistent with the command to invoke it.)

Yes, that was certainly something *ancient*, so there I was dead
wrong. But my memory isn't perfect. I mean, the comparison with
Charles Xavier - I always said that was exaggerated...
