In that case, I think the benefits of "emacs --apply" are somewhat 
reduced, but it does still make some cases a bit easier. 
("emacs-mail.desktop" could use it, which would let us simplify the 
implementation of 'message-mailto' a little.)

Still, if we dropped "emacs --apply" I wouldn't stamp my feet about it. 
The main benefit is for emacsclient anyway, where it seems we have 
consensus.
