There be dragons: we've had several changes in this area, each one of
them caused unintended "misfeatures" in other use cases.  So I would
suggest to review bug reports related to emacsclient for the recent,
say, 3 years, and make sure the various use cases described there
still work correctly, both with TTY frames and GUI frames.
