there are ways.  they have the random problem here or there.  but, even
if they didn't, i think it would be cleaner, and maybe more robust, to
have something in the "#!/usr/bin/emacs" line that would stop parsing
any Emacs options at the end of that line (rather than looking at any
command line options the end-user gave when invoking the script).

it's definitely a good idea to not introduce incompatibilities.  (though
i'd be curious to see how people are using "-x" with other Emacs
options, whether on the "#!/usr/bin/emacs" line, or on the command
line.)

how about "-y"? :)

cheers, Greg
