What am I missing? before-init-time and after-init-time have already been introduced in Emacs 23; see NEWS. The former is used for the new function emacs-uptime, the latter I'm unsure about. Since these variables already exist, my feeling is that it's better to use them rather than to come up with a new flag saying that Emacs is being initialized.
