Subject: 27.0.50; There should be a variant of C-x # that causes Emacsclient
 to exit with a nonzero exit code

Many programs invoke $EDITOR and wait for it to return to enter some
input.  EDITOR can be set to emacsclient, of course.  However, there's
no way to have emacsclient exit with a nonzero exit code.  That can be
useful in some cases, because callers invoking $EDITOR often react on
the exit code, e.g. by aborting some operation.  Therefore it would be
nice to have a variant of C-x # that would cause emacsclient to exit
with a nonzero exit code.

I guess this is the same as Bug#11358.

Yup; so I'm closing this bug report too, then.
