At the very least, I understand how to use emacsclient (e.g. to connect to a
running emacs server).
I am just wondering if it makes sense to give an error message instead of
`falling back` the way ‘emacs’ does. (scratch buffer or title screen (though a
title screen might not make sense assuming the server/emacs instance was
already started)).
I’ve also been told emacsclient used to be able to handle the ‘no file
arguments’ case, although I can’t confirm if this is true or not.
https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/45mtdz/can_someone_explain_why_emacsclient_requires_a/
Shows 1 or 2 users being able to use emacsclient without passing a file
argument.
