    Can the infile non allow a stdin option when emacs is invoked via a
    emacs --script?

There is probably no way to do this now, but I suppose call-process
could have some way of saying "inherit stdin" for the batch case.  (If
"/dev/stdin" doesn't do the job.)

If /dev/stdin does work, maybe we should document that.
