I have two thoughts:
1) Instead of specifying the function args with a flag, I think I'd go
the other way and specify the function as being special, e.g.:
emacs --apply func arg1 arg2
2) Even better, why not just use --function and pass some higher-order
function:
emacs --function apply-from-command-line func arg1 arg2
That way, it's easy to substitute in some other higher-order function if
you want. emacsclient would still need to add a --function flag though,
and probably some changes to how it forwards arguments to the main emacs
so that you can do stuff like this.
