Can I hijack the thread to ask if there is a way of suppressing the
"Loading" and related start-up messages when using the
#!/usr/bin/emacs --script
convention?

At present this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/emacs --script
(princ "Hello World!\n")
-------------------------------------------------------------------

generates the following output:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
brendan@annacotty:/tmp$ ./hw.el 
Loading 00debian-vars...
Loading /etc/emacs-snapshot/site-start.d/50auctex.el (source)...
Loading /usr/share/emacs/23.0.50/site-lisp/auctex.el (source)...
Loading /usr/share/emacs/23.0.50/site-lisp/preview-latex.el (source)...
Loading /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dictionaries-common.el (source)...

Loading /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50slime.el (source)...
Loading /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/slime/slime-autoloads...
Hello World!
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Adding options like -q and --no-site-file to the bang line don't seem to
have any effect, and this makes Emacs unattractive for small scripts.
