Automatically move cursor to end of shell-mode buffer on M-p / M-n |

As a shell user, I want shell-mode M-p / M-n to automatically move my
cursor to the shell prompt, so that shell-mode behaves more intuitively.
Currently, attempting to use M-p / M-n when the cursor is not at the
prompt, results in a warning message. I think we can make shell-mode behave
more intuitively.
I have a workaround for this in my .emacs:
;; Automatically move cursor to prompt on shell up/down
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(define-key comint-mode-map (kbd "M-p")
(lambda (arg)
(interactive "*p")
(goto-char (point-max))
(comint-previous-input arg)))
(define-key comint-mode-map (kbd "M-n")
(lambda (arg)
(interactive "*p")
(goto-char (point-max))
(comint-next-input arg)))))
In the next version of Emacs, could we bake this behavior in, so that
shell-mode behaves more intuitively?
