The problem is that if I start up an emacs with

emacs -d foobar:0.0

then I have no way of knowing the value of foobar (it's not part of
the environment).

I think that the -d foobar:0.0 is kept in the command line that
emacs-lisp sees, though, so you (barmar, actually) can extract it from
the list of arguments.
