I would be nice if Steam provided a command line option that directly launches a game and exits the steam client afterwards.

Right now, we can launch a game via:

steam steam://rungameid/APPID
steam -applaunch APPID

But the steam client will stay open after the game exited. Could you add an command line option that does that without showing the Steam client window and exits the steam client after closing the game?
