Cc:
when XEmacs is started with `--vanilla' or `-q', it displays an item
"Load init files" in the menu bar.  The name of the command in XEmacs
is `load-user-init-file'.

Maybe Emacs should do have something similar.

If a non-trivial .emacs is loaded after Emacs starts, the effect might
be different from the same .emacs loaded at startup, due to the stage
of the startup sequence where .emacs is normally loaded.  This could
surprise users, unless we write a special load function that takes
care of these subtleties.

But is not that an argument in favor of the menu item then?
