Aweshell does a lot of things and works with Eshell, not `shell' as your
first method.
Plain `eshell' already supports multiple instances (see its docstring),
as well as `shell' (see its docstring).
So if you want to open multiple shell buffers, you don't need neither a
new function nor a new package.
