I've idly wondered before whether we should add a general mechanism for this to avoid having to create functions that look at `command-line-args-left' themselves. (And --eval is problematic in circumstances like this.) So something like --function foo --function-args bar zot gazonk would result in calling `foo' with those arguments. Hm... would we need some way to say "here's the end of --function-args", perhaps? "--"? So: --function foo --function-args bar zot gazonk -- Anybody have any thoughts here?
I have two thoughts:1) Instead of specifying the function args with a flag, I think I'd go the other way and specify the function as being special, e.g.:
emacs --apply func arg1 arg22) Even better, why not just use --function and pass some higher-order function:
emacs --function apply-from-command-line func arg1 arg2That way, it's easy to substitute in some other higher-order function if you want. emacsclient would still need to add a --function flag though, and probably some changes to how it forwards arguments to the main emacs so that you can do stuff like this.
