Well, it has:
-f function
Execute the lisp function function.
to invoke easily a simple function.
But the problem is that most functions and commands existing in emacs
are designed to be passed parameters or to be _interactive_. If you
program your own batch functions, you can then invoke them easily with
this -f option (and with -batch and -l).
