One possibility: maybe the init file is actually ~/.emacs.el, or
~/.emacs.d/init.el, etc. So the caller would have to do (a small amount
of) actual work to locate it, rather than just letting Emacs handle it
transparently as normal.
(It sure would waste less time if reports were less vague, particularly
when asking for new features to be implemented.)
