It makes sense. It is worth pointing out that that this feature looks more useful on Android than on any system (I think) Emacs is capable of running on, since Android - unlike the other systems - can't access the built-in emacsclient binary by any means. You'd have to install emacsclient separately (e.g. from Termux) and to communicate via TCP
