I agree that it's might be a tiny bit too specialized to be turned on by
default -- after all, some people do use emacclient simply to start new
editing sessions.

Perhaps what would be best would be to have it off by deafult, but
provide a very easy way to turn it on from emacsclient, via a command
line option, an environment variable, or something.  I think when I want
this behavior, it's usually when invoking from specific contexts via
VISUAL/EDITOR (mutt/git/etc), but in those contexts, I pretty much
always want it.

Maybe just --eval ...? (but that can be a little annoying because it
might flummox invokers that don't use sh -c and do simplistic whitespace
splitting or something...)
