These might be good ideas if Emacs was a Windows program. But since
Emacs is a cross platform program, it is better to keep emacsclient the
same as other platforms, and have emacsclientw, which is built from
identical source code with different compiler switches, to work around
the deficiency in Windows where it insists on making a console visible
when you start a console program from the GUI.
