I know--the "*eshell*" is not necessary too--its illustrative--its just an example--showing that you could (using your new module) createmultiple asynchronous/coprocesses (in their own dedicated buffers) uniquely named shells and maybe make calls out to goosh and use surfraw and/or gnugol somehow.
And, many thanks to you too Konrad for your new org-eshell.el module--hopefully more people will realize the possibilities of these great tools.
Eshell has some unique properties that ought to be explored more.

Same here.
