I don't understand your comment--the `server-custom-option-list' 
variable is the list of options for parsing; the 
`server-custom-option-functions' variable is the list of functions to 
handle the options.  I can certainly see how we can merge these two
but I'm still confused by your comment.

If we were to merge the variables, we could end up with a list with 
entries like the following:

   ("OPTION" {PRED|t|nil|string-only} HANDLER)

I don't understand what arguments "takes the list of arguments and 
returns a new list of arguments" you are referring to?  Do you mean
parsing the command line args and removing the ones that it is 
processing?  I had looked at that a little, but figured I'd let the parsing
be done in C in emacsclient and just forward the unrecognized to lisp.
But even if we assemble the custom args into a list and try to handle 
them in lisp, how does that simplify the lisp side of the fence? 

Thanks, Michael
