The reporter suggests adding a new option to emacsclient to achieve their preferred behaviour.  However, the current behaviour, when emacs is run as a daemon, has no current frames, and emacsclient is not run on a TTY, is for the file to be opened in the daemon but not displayed to the user.  I find it hard to see why anyone would want that, so think that the suggested behaviour should be the default in that case.
