Hi, I use eshell-command frequently to paste output from a command into a buffer. E.g.:
```
ls -1 *.jpg >> #<some-other-buffer>
```
It would be really cool if there was completion available so that I could type "#<so" <TAB> and get buffer name completion candidates. This doesn't seem to be a feature yet, at least not in the Emacs 30 branch. It will give some completion candidates from functions and such, but not buffer names.

If I were you I'd report this as a bug/feature request.

This is already supported. See commit 9199fa00caa6 (and 69e8333210ae for
some further enhancements on top).

Thanks! I built master and gave this a try, and it seems to be working fine.
Life is getting a bit complicated, running three versions of Emacs on one system!

In addition to this (now implemented) feature, you can insert a buffer
for redirection using `eshell-insert-buffer-name', bound to C-c M-b by
default in eshell.
