I am not sure that the  command-shell would fit into that description. 

Frankly, I don't see here a problem, in my understanding currently we
have

    1. One shell for octave

    2. One shell for matlab

It would be different, if there were only a command shell for matlab and
none for octave, but that's not the case.

Whats about my argument, a matlab mode for emacs, could encourage users
of the internal non free matlab user to switch to GNU emacs (and then
potentially could contribute either by bug reports, fixes or even more
features...)
