, I guess we should just revert the patch -- I don't see any obvious
way to determine whether --alternate-editor is Emacs (which will then
understand the rest of the parameters) or something else (which will
then not). So leaving it the way it was is best.
I'm not sure what the best solution is here, it's just I had something
that worked and now I can't get emacs27 to work usefully in the same way.
It should be possible to run the code in the client or a new instance,
but I didn't manage to get this working.
CODE='(progn (message "HELLO WOLD"))'
emacsclient --eval "$CODE" --alternate-editor "emacs --eval '$CODE'"
Instead of starting a new emacs and printing HELLO WOLD,
it reports:
emacsclient: error executing alternate editor "emacs --eval '(progn
(message "HELLO WORLD"))'"
