Re: [Emacs-diffs] master 36b9955: Add --new-daemon, which runs in the foreground and does not fork

[Evgeny Roubinchtein]

Alternatively alternatively an optional argument to the "--daemon" option so that, for example "--daemon=foreground" is the no-forking behavior, whereas plain "--daemon" (for backward compatibility) and "--daemon=background" (for completeness) are both the forking behavior.  

Bikeshedding can be fun. ;-)

Alternatively, an extra flag simply to indicate not to fork the daemon,
perhaps -F for emacs.
