This conflates privacy with security. If I want to pass my computer
to someone else (a common practice in pair programming, to pick one
example), but I want to clear out some sensitive info first, it
shouldnt be hard to do. Making the emacs shell interface work like
a non-emacs shell interface seems like a perfectly reasonable thing
to do (especially since eshell already lets you hide the previous
context simply by hitting C-l C-l).
