You can always use emacs' daemon option (which has been around for a few
years now), but as far as I can see, you need to start it that way up
front. Stefan Monnier's approach seems to allow you to detach from a
running emacs started without that option.
I use the daemon mode quite often; in fact, these days I rarely run
emacs without it.
