Ah. Either you were less than clear, or I was less than crisp.

Untrue. Emacs (without runemacs) *already* creates a visible window in
which it runs. It also creates an empty console window. With runemacs,
this additional windows isn't there. So, from a user's POV, runemacs
hides an annoying window.

Do you mean that in

  emacs --no-site-file -nw

"--no-site-file" is NOT an option?

I don't think so. Not unless you document it (and even so).

I disagree.
