I use `-e' to open new frame seeking for specific buffer, or invoking
specific functions.

--funcall is similar as `-e' only limited to single function. So I
  suggest that when you implement that, that --funcall may be used
  also without any file, such as emacsclient -c --funcall my-function
  as that way I can invoke necessary programs.

Though it is not logical to tie a "funcall" to file, file may not be
there, or it could be new file, or new frame created, or --funcall can
do useful things in the existing server.
