Nice idea.

Applying your patch, I get the compiler warning
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ELC eshell/esh-mode.elc
In end of data:
eshell/esh-mode.el:1114:1: Warning: the function ‘(setf buffer-substring)’ is
not known to be defined.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And using it in eshell, there is
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~/src/emacs $ !! cat ~/.emacs | grep albinus
!!: command not found
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I wanted to see, whether this works also for remote directories. Have
you tested this?
