21.3: emacs -q -l cause-error.el file.txt does not load file

User-agent: Gnus/5.110003 (No Gnus v0.3) Emacs/21.3 (gnu/linux)

In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2004-08-03 on raven, modified by Debian

Test case:

    $ cd ~/tmp
    $ echo error > cause-error.el
    $ echo edit  > file.txt
    $ emacs --no-site-file -nw -q -l cause-error.el file.txt
    Symbol's value as variable is void: error

Emacs terminates after option "-l" and the file.txt is not loaded
for editing.

I think Emacs should process all non-option command line arguments and
display files for editing in spite of "-l" load errors in lisp packages.
Being able to edit files is the key feature.
