I think that is special-casing *scratch* too much. Maybe
visit-on-startup can evaluate to a buffer and be something like
(get-buffer-create "*scratch*")
(find-file "~/")
and the special value "nil" is reserved for not mapping an initial
frame at all (namely, waiting for a call of emacsclient).
Or something like that. I'll readily admit that this might not be the
final solution.
