bug#71554: 29.3; eshell-command async buffer behavior

If I might weigh in here: in my view it is basically a bug, or something close 
enough to be treated like one. I want to emphasize the incongruity of being 
able to run asynchronous commands through eshell-command, but only being able 
to run one at a time. Assuming, of course, you want to be able to see the 
output of your commands. I often find myself being forced to use shell-command 
instead for this reason, but would rather use eshell-command.

I feel a bit passionate about this subject because I like to promote using 
Emacs as your shell, i.e., interface to the operating system, above depending 
on the system shell. Perhaps we have "lived with this" for quite some time just 
because eshell and eshell-command are less utilized than they deserve to be.
