I have no argument against that test. However, testing non-nil
`pop-up-frames' is not always a sufficient indication that a user wants a
separate frame.
`special-display-regexps' and `special-display-buffer-names' can also
indicate a user wish for a separate frame. If a file name matches one of
these, then perhaps emacslient should use a separate frame. (I don't know
whether that already happens.)
