It would be a very nice integration for both sides to settle down on a way = to import/export data from each other seamlessly.
I work often with a shell and this would allow people to use the command li= ne whenever they just need to do to something quickly and switching to emac= s and org-mode if they need editor capabilities.

Greetings
