Author: Eli Zaretskii <address@hidden>
Commit: Eli Zaretskii <address@hidden>

    Document new features if Eshell
    
    * doc/misc/eshell.texi (Input/Output): Document the new
    '#<bufname>' syntax.
    (Input/Output): Document 'eshell-destroy-buffer-when-process-dies'.
    Disable "Key Index" generation, as there are no @kindex entries in
    this manual.
