Well, there is something close to that: you can pipe a single command into a
buffer.

No ,it wouldn't! If you write it well, it should work on any UNIX. All you need
is to make the c system() call (I think that's it -- I don't have C) with
output piped for the shell's output and for input, input the same way any other
text is entered into emacs, and when enter is pressed (and the hypothetical
mode "SHELL" is active), the line under the cursor is passed to the shell.

As for the usefulness, I don't know. How often does one need that? (Though I'm
sure someone has a VERY good use for it)

Oh, and you know what would be really neat?

Nah, there's already a lot of changes planned for 1.1  I'll keep this for much
later, 1.2 or something :)
