1) [first patch] We can add a new major mode, for 'M-&' to use instead
of the full-blown 'shell-mode' - it could be very simple: just apply
font-lock keywords and maybe set list-buffers-directory.
I think I'm okay with this. (It needs to be prominently documented,
of course.)
In NEWS?
There, but also in the doc string of M-&, and maybe also in the doc
string of shell-mode-hook.
But we need a documented way for people to get previous
behavior if they want that. How would that work?
If we really needed the capability to rollback the change, I suppose we
could add a defvar pointing to the major mode to use. I.e.
(defvar async-shell-command-major-mode #'shell-command-mode)
That could work, yes.
