Severity: wishlist

The `shell-mode' function is interactive, but I think perhaps it should
not be since it is not designed for use as M-x shell-mode in an
arbitrary buffer, but only after the `shell' function makes various
setups.

I struck this when a brain fade confused me between shell-command,
shell-mode and shell and I did M-x shell-mode in a file buffer and
nearly made a big mess.  The problem is only seen when shell.el has been
loaded (for any reason) since shell-mode is not autoloaded.

Similar could apply to other special modes, maybe even to most modes
derived from `special-mode'.
