From

*info* (emacs) Initial Options

‘-daemon=SERVER-NAME’
     Start emacs in background as a daemon, and use SERVER-NAME as the
     server name.

Curiously that syntax is not mentioned on the output of `emacs --help',
nor it is clear if --daemon=SERVER-NAME is accepted (note the two
hyphens).

IMHO, --fg-daemon or --daemon-fg makes more sense, but then we need
--fg-daemon=SERVER-NAME and -fg-daemon=SERVER-NAME; same for the --bg*
alternative.

Then you are on the right place.

An we are entering in a combinatorial explosion. We have bikeshedding
material until New Year's Eve and beyond!
