There is already such table approach implemented in Emacs long ago,
and I think desktop.el should use it instead of handling --no-desktop
in startup.el.
There is a special variable `command-switch-alist' which is intended
exactly for this case, i.e. you could add to desktop.el:
;;;###autoload
(add-hook 'command-switch-alist
'("--no-desktop" . (lambda (argi) (load "desktop"))))
However, loading desktop.el is not a good solution. Perhaps better would be:
;;;###autoload
(add-hook 'command-switch-alist
'("--no-desktop" .
(lambda (argi)
(message "\"--no-desktop\" ignored because the Desktop package is
not loaded"))))
Still not ideal. Another solution is to add an autoload cookie before
`add-hook' adding a lambda to `after-init-hook' in desktop.el:
;;;###autoload
(add-hook
'after-init-hook
'(lambda ()
(let ((key "--no-desktop"))
(when (member key command-line-args)
(setq command-line-args (delete key command-line-args))
(setq desktop-save-mode nil)))
(when desktop-save-mode (desktop-read))))
This would work as well. Or maybe the lambda from `after-init-hook'
should be duplicated in command-switch-alist?
