Is there any way to do literate Babel-style things with eshell? Only shell
(sh) seems to be listed among the languages. As I understand, eshell is
just a wrapper around actual elisp expressions. For example,
find-file foobar.txt
is actually
(find-file "foobar.txt")
I'd like to do shell-like stuff and capture everything literate-style in
code and result blocks. If no Babel for eshell, is there a way to translate
eshell into its raw elisp? Then I could do Babel on the elisp.

Okay, if you check this
<https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/14979/access-to-the-elisp-commands-behind-eshell-commands/14981#14981>
you'll
see the answer I was after. With eshell you can "stay within" emacs to do
system/command line stuff. Now, with the elisp code behind eshell I can
stay within org-mode within emacs for system stuff. Sure, I could put sh in
blocks, but stepping up into scripting seems like a good practice to
develop.
