I'm not attached to the old- and new- names. Anyone should feel free to change them. I used "new" because https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/daemon.html distinguishes between "sysV" and " new-style" daemons. I actually started with "--daemon-fg" and "--daemon-bg", but the Emacs argument parsing code can't handle one argument (ie "--daemon") being a prefix of another. If someone fixes argmatch to prefer an exact match to a prefix match, those would work. "--fg-daemon" and "--bg-daemon" sound fine to me. Switches --foreground (I don't think it's worth a short option like -F) and --background sound fine too. PS: emacs_devel.txt: seven years for a feature to get implemented, then overnight 4 people suggest different names for the option. ;)
