[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When emacsclient is used in a terminal, emacsclient FILE opens a 
non-graphical Emacs frame, and emacsclient -c FILE always creates a new 
graphical Emacs frame.  A third option, which creates a graphical frame if 
none exist and reuses a graphical frame is one exists, would be useful 
(see for example [1] and [2]).

Patch attached.
