You should be able to do 'emacs -Q filename.rb' however.
I see you using the old idiom ${1+"$@"}. That is fine. That will
work everywhere. But unless you are working on Solaris then that
idiom can be shorted to simply "$@" without checking $1 first. All
modern shells treat "$@" correctly now and it is required by POSIX.
You have been focusing on trying to get the "open" to work. But you
could just for the experiment try emacs in a terminal window and get
the test done.
emacs -nw -Q
Just ignore the who "open" problem for the moment and just test
whether -Q causes your curly brace problem to go away. Because if
it does then you now the problem is in your emacs customization in
your ~/.emacs or wherever you are locating it.
