Hm... I'm not quite sure what the use case here is. I mean, if you say
"-q" or "-Q", it's because you want an Emacs without any
customisations. So why would you then load ~/.emacs?
Hm... OK... I could see that it could help with debugging the init
file, for instance. You'd (setq debug-on-error t) or whatever and then
hit the load button. But... if you're doing that, you're probably
better off just `M-x eval-buffer' in ~/.emacs.
So I'm not sure. Anybody got an opinion?
