Using --eval is a hack (a Turing complete one), using parameters to
--daemon is more in the spirit of how command line options work (see
what I described in a previous mail: --daemon[=NAME[:PORT]]).
But having that implemented would have increased the size of the patch
(and it's only useful to a very small minority anyway, and that small
minority can use --eval to set the server-name and restart the server).

Not exactly, I wanted things to work by default, if people change the
server name in .emacs, and use --daemon=NAME, I'd rather want the server
name to be NAME. But again, if someone wants to change the place where
the server is started, he can go ahead.
