The use case is that you're ssh-ing in to an Emacs running on a machine,
and you want to communicate with that Emacs (because it has all the
information you absolutely need right now in *scratch*), but you haven't
set up emacs-server on it yet.  (Any similarity to something that's
happened to me a dozen times is purely coincidental.) 

So if you could put (server-start) in ~/.emacs and send it SIGUSR,
that'd be nice.
