Re: "emacs -f gnus" shows the splashscreen instead of Gnus

    I think it would be good if there was some obvious indicator on the
    splash screen that would make the true state of affairs obvious.

That seems like a good idea.

    For instance, what about a line following the big logo picture like:

       Files to be visited:   foo.c  bar.c

The files have been visited already, haven't they, when the splash screen
goes up?  And if you said -f gnus, hasn't gnus already been started?

How about

       Type SPC to proceed to editing the files foo.c and bar.c

or

       Type SPC to proceed to use gnus.

These not only avoid inaccuracy, they also give more direct
advice about what the user should do.

Would you like to implement that?
