This looks mostly clear for me.  The only thing I don't understand is why
we need -c?  Emacs has no option for creating a GUI frame and has -nw for
running on a tty, so why should emacsclient be different?  The following
rules are more consistent with the traditional Emacs invocation:

  . if -nw was specified, try make-frame-on-tty, if it fails, try
    using the current tty or a GUI frame;

  . if no option specified, try creating a GUI frame, and failing that,
    try a tty frame.

for consistency with

  emacsclient            = emacs          (create a new GUI frame)
  emacsclient -nw        = emacs -nw      (run emacs on a tty)
  emacsclient FILE       = emacs FILE     (open a file in a new GUI frame)
  emacsclient -nw FILE   = emacs -nw FILE (open a file in a tty)
