Not sure that would work, as there are three states that are possible:

login:
ssh example.com

command:
ssh example.com command

don't run a command
ssh -N example.com

Maybe a multi-state RemoteCommand $command | none | don't (better name
wanted). But I'm also ambivalent about a RemoteCommand option too...
