I don't think there'd be a *problem* if --funcall without a file was 
allowed. As you say, it's not necessary, since you can already do this 
with -e, but --funcall with no files has precedent with the regular 
emacs executable, so I think it'd be reasonable for emacsclient to do it 
too. It's probably not a big deal either way though, given that emacs 
and emacsclient already treat options quite differently.
