Because in many cases you won't find. At least one of the systems I
run Emacsen on is headless.
I think Dan is right -- this is basically a user error. And I think
that Óscar is also right ... anything that tries to access a
non-existent console should signal an error. As Óscar says, this will
terminate the load of .emacs, and this is justified because it is a
user error -- it's not Emacs's responsibility.
There will be no return value; unless .emacs does condition-case
itself, the signal should result in a throw to top level. The error
message(s) can be collected in a special buffer for that purpose, or
in " *Message-Log*", which will be popped up along with *scratch* when
the first console and window are opened by the user.
