    Good point. But what about the `visit-on-startup' option suggestion? It
    would _default_ to `~/', but you could specify anything. It wouldn't need to
    be a directory, but could be an existing file or even a new file. The
    definition could be something like this:

    (defcustom visit-on-startup "~/"
      "File or directory to visit when Emacs is started."
      :type 'file :group 'emacs)

It is a nice feature, as long as it can be nil meaning don't.
