Dan makes a good point here. It also seems to me, from an interface
point of view, that emacs command line should either provide :

    emacs --eval '(progn (setq server-name "foo") (daemonize))'

or

    emacs --daemon[=name[:port]]


Or maybe both. Mixing the two as proposed by Stephan makes perfect
sense for whoever happens to know precisely the loading sequence of
emacs. But probably not as much for the rest of the world.

I know it's feature freeze, but polishing *the CLI* of daemon mode
isn't really a *feature*, and is not likely to introduce some new bug
reports, don't you think ?
