Sorry, I don't think I understand.  My understanding was that this
feature is supported by some shells whose names are known in advance
(like zsh), so Emacs could compute the value as appropriate for that
shell without asking the user to set it.  If this is not a good idea,
can you explain why?

Thanks.
