Doc string of `shell-command': Mention that you are prompted for the command. 2. `shell-command-default-error-buffer': Make it a user option. 3. In general, orient the doc a bit more toward interactive use. Especially since the doc suggests that it is especially for interactive use: In Elisp, you will often be better served by calling `call-process' or `start-process' directly, since it offers more control and does not imp= ose the use of a shell (with its need to quote arguments). 4. Also, some lines in the doc string are too long (but not by much: 74 chars max instead of 70).
