Start emacsclient in the current terminal

Now -c is hard coded when launching emacsclient so that a new frame is always created. Can you please provide an option to use -t instead?

Could you explain this use case a bit more?

I am using i3wm as window manager and always assign emacs to a certain workspace. Since the assignment is depending on the class name (got by xprop) of the window, emacsclient will also be assigned to the predefined workspace instead of the current workspace where the editing should happen.

My workaround is to call emacsclient in a terminal emulator which I can assign to a different class name. In order for that to happen, I would need to run emacsclient with option -t.
