Well, it has:

to invoke easily a simple function.

But the problem is that  most functions and commands existing in emacs
are designed to  be passed parameters or to  be _interactive_.  If you
program your own batch functions, you can then invoke them easily with
this -f option (and with -batch and -l).

--eval '(function (quote symbol) "string" 123)'


e.g.


--eval '(ediff-files "file-1" "file-2")'
--eval '(call-interactively (quote find-file))'
