I guess it would make sense to try and distinguish the two cases:

- Eager: `emacs --daemon` is run (typically from something like a login
  script or systemd) before any emacsclient is involved.
- Lazy: `emacs --daemon` is started on-demand by the `-a` option
  of `emacsclient` (or via ALTERNATE_EDITOR).

In the lazy case, we could kill the daemon when the last client exits.
