This won't work, because emacsclient thinks everything after the first FILE
cannot be an option.  Which is why +LINE:COLUMN FILE works, although LINE
and COLUMN refer to FILE that comes after it.

We can invoke functions in the order of --funcall's, but they should run
after visiting the file.  Nothing else makes sense, and was never possible
with emacsclient anyway.

So I stand by what I wrote: --funcall'ed functions should run after
visiting FILE.  It's not a problem, as you can see from the implementation
of -position in the protocol.
