Sorry if this was discussed and I missed it, but I think this is a bad
idea. There's already an option to control this. More important, there's
no option to force the rc files to be used, so if -g disables them you'd
be stuck with that.

I agree that the rc files are a danger when scripting, but if we want to
do something about that then it needs to be consistent for ALL
non-interactive use.
