*** Why EShell?
EShell is an integrated shell environment for Emacs, written in Emacs
Lisp. Henceforth I will argue that it is the best shell/command

+- mixing of Lisp and shell commands, with piping!
However, my favourite feature of EShell is the set of evaluators that
run on command input. Some of the benefits listed above come as a
consequence of this powerful feature.
-Lisp evaluator: works on braced expressions, evaluating them as Lisp
-expressions (e.g. ~(message "Hello, World!\n")~). Any returned
-objects are printed. This makes EShell a LISP REPL!
-
-External evaluator: works within curly braces, evaluating them via an
-external shell process (e.g. ~{echo "Hello, world!\n"}~). This makes
-EShell a (kinda dumb) terminal emulator!
-
-The main evaluator for each expression given to EShell evaluates an
-expression by testing the first symbol against these conditions:
-- it's an alias defined by the user or in the ~eshell/~ namespace of
- functions (simplest evaluator)
-- it's defined as a Lisp function (lisp evaluator)
-- it's an external command (bash evaluator)
-Essentially, you get the best of both Emacs and external shell
-programs *ALL WITHIN* Emacs for free.
+The main evaluator for any expression for EShell evaluates an
+expression by testing the first symbol against different namespaces.
+The namespaces are ordered such that if a symbol is not found in one,
+the next namespace is tested. These namespaces are:
+- alias (defined in the [[file:.config/eshell/aliases][aliases
+ file]])
+- "built-in" command i.e. in the ~eshell/~ namespace of functions
+- external command
+- Lisp function
+
+You can direct EShell to use these latter two namespaces: any
+expression delimited by parentheses is considered a Lisp expression,
+and any expression delimited by curly braces is considered an external
+command. You may even pipe the results of one into another, allowing
+a deeper level of integration between Emacs Lisp and the shell!
