While trying to document a bug I ran Emacs using -Q.
It was a nice surprise to see syntax highlighting and paren matching were on.
I've always thought these should default to ON.

But the doc specifically says ...
    This is like using `-q' and `--no-site-file', but in addition it
    also disables the menu-bar, the tool-bar, the scroll-bars, tool
    tips, the blinking cursor, and the fancy startup screen.

I found that all these items (except the splash screen) stayed on.
It did seem useful so I'm not pushing that they be turned off but
the behavior or the doc does seems to need a change.
