IIUC the "-c" argument doesn't do "current-frame" so its name is misleading
(with my .emacs config at least, with "-c" a new frame is created for every
file).

It seems that "-c" mostly does "old style" vs "new style", where the new
style is to try and pretend that emacsclient started a new process
(i.e. make it behave as much as a possible like a new Emacs session, just
started more quickly and sharing its buffers with the old session).

But I haven't read enough of the code yet to be quite sure this is the case.
