M-x shell question

I'm thinking that M-x shell should cd the subshell
to the current directory of the buffer you're in
when you type M-x shell.  I often want to do that.

Or perhaps C-u M-x shell should do that.

The current behavior of C-u M-x shell, to use a different buffer name
for the shell buffer, is not very useful; if you want to make multiple
shell buffers, the easiest way is to make each one as *shell* and
rename it.

Is anyone against?
