Hi,

thanks for this package! With the recent how-did-anyone-think-that-was-a-good-idea in bash (again), this is very useful.

However, are you sure you want to have no inputs for xonsh?

I can see that it supports at least these:
- python-ply
- python-sphinx
- python-numpydoc
- python-prompt-toolkit

And maybe also these features (not that important):
- jupyter
- setproctitle
- distro
- Cloud
- Sphinx-Theme

What do you think?

Should it block the package? Or perhaps we can push the patch as-is and
you can submit a follow-up to add the features you want?

It's fine to use as-is, it just looks like a shell from 1973 :)

LGTM.

Also, I've tested Stefan's package and it works.

I think it should work in that configuration. I am just starting to use
it. For me it has the potential to be the shell for 2023 ;-)

I corrected the license to bsd-2 [0], moved the package definition to
(gnu packages shells) and pushed as 1d51585573f491.

Thanks!
