They both have 'e' in their names. If we imagine that both 's' and 'h' 
are taken (the latter standing for 'help', maybe), then 'e' is kind of a 
natural choice.

And maybe 'search' is more important than 'shell', as far as the choice 
for 's' goes.

The main thought behind this option is that 'shell' and 'eshell' are not 
too different, so it should make sense to put them on the same letter.

While I might not, it can't stop somebody else, especially if that's for 
their personal config only. But we could also use 'G' for it.
