shell-command-sentinel hook?

[Christopher Howard]

Hi, I was just wondering if it would be difficult/problematic to patch 
simple.el to provide some kind of hook so that, when async shell commands 
complete, users can run arbitrary elisp? I imagine this would get inserted at 
the end of shell-command-sentinel...?

I've been getting in the habit lately of moving my activities out of Gnome 
console and instead running shell commands with async-shell-command. But 
something I miss is that Gnome console will send a notification at the end of 
the command which is very visible on the desktop. This can be reproduced in 
Emacs by adding " && notify-send \"some message\"" onto the end of the command. 
This works, and could be wrapped in various ways, but it would be nice if the 
exit code was passed on as well to the callback. I imagine other people would 
come up with various other creative uses of the hook, especially if we also 
passed in the command string to the callback.

Am running GNU Emacs 29.1.
