I think you are right. I did not know that eshell/date could be used
this way.
The issue here is mostly my lack of awareness about what is an Elisp
command and what is a system program.
Maybe having different syntax highlighting for the "verb" depending on
whether it's a system program or an Elisp command would help avoiding
the pitfall.
Is there a trivial way to do this? If not I'll work on it. Maybe
create a package if that does not fit the philosophy of mainline Emacs.
