30.0.50; macOS: `emacs --geometry` flag broken, only `-geometry` works |

On macOS, this has no effect on the size of the initial frame:
emacs -Q --geometry 10x10
This works as expected though:
emacs -Q -g 10x10
emacs -Q -geometry 10x10
On GNU/Linux, all flags work as expected.

In d7d8c62a57e7 it was actually still commented out. Proper support was
only added 4 years later, in commit e543ae917.
The fact that "--geometry" wasn't commented out at the time looks like
it was just an oversight.

It works fine, so I pushed a patch to master. Closing this now, thanks.
