Oh, I do see the use of 'head' in
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/emacs.rb
now.  I don't see --with-cocoa, and it sure looks like --without-ns is a
hard coded option to ./configure in the formula.  The response from the
brew maintainers for those that wanted a GUI version, in the but I
linked to prior, was "use cask", so that suggests that I'm right that
this particular formula is not meant to provide a GUI emacs.  ????  I'm
no homebrew expert, though.
