> Could we set up emacs to assume --script and possibly -Q when started as "elisp", or "emacs-script", or some other name (that is, could we make it so that invoking emacs with argv[0] = ".../elisp" starts emacs -Q --script)? (And ideally Emacs would ignore all options after the script's name, to let the script itself process them).

I believe changing the program behavior depending on how it was named
in the command that invoked it is against GNU coding standards.
