Oh, I noticed that the patch provided by Tino removed all mentions of
shell buffer names from the documentation. While technically this is fine,
I tried to look from the point of view of users, and realized that it's
highly unlikely that the users might be interested to know the name of
the constant 'shell-command-buffer-name', whereas it's very important
for users to learn that the default name of the shell output buffer is
"*Shell Command Output*".
So it would be better to revert all changes in the documentation, and
anyway in https://debbugs.gnu.org/39138#16 Eli already asked not to mention
these variables in the manual.
