Then one way of doing this is call kill-emacs with a non-nil argument,
then wrap Emacs in a shell script that would do whatever you want
depending on the Emacs exit code.

Of course, submitting (trivial) patches for adding a command to write
to stdout would probably be welcome as well.  But please note that
sometimes Emacs is invoked with stdout redirected to some obscure
file, or even with stdout being closed/invalid.
