Would be helpful if shell-mode understood that .bashrc*, .profile*, etc.
are shell scripts. Right now, they are treated as fundamental.

Works for me.

emacs-24.3 -Q .profile    -> shell-script
emacs-24.3 -Q .bashrc     -> shell-script

C-h v auto-mode-alist
 ("\\.[ck]?sh\\'\\|\\.shar\\'\\|/\\.z?profile\\'" . sh-mode)
 ("\\(/\\|\\`\\)\\.\\(bash_profile\\|z?login\\|bash_login\\|z?logout\\)\\'"
 . sh-mode)
 ("\\(/\\|\\`\\)\\.\\(bash_logout\\|shrc\\|[kz]shrc\\|bashrc\\|t?cshrc\\|esrc\\)\\'"
 . sh-mode)

Yes, same on my machine.

I think this problem is specific to alternative config files (I've got a
".bashrc" for primary computer, ".bashrc-cygwin" for Windows,
".bashrc-android" for Android, and so on.

Could the default auto-mode-alist entry be tweaked to include any file with
".bashrc" as a prefix?

Why not just add a major mode cookie (comment) at the top of your
non-standardly-named files?

That's not a bad idea.

Personally, I don't like inserting any editor-specific text in my code (I
woundn't use the equivalent Vim cookie either).

My current workaround is to manually add (.\bashrc|\.profile).* to
auto-mode-alist. I just wish this were the default pattern.

... is there another convention for naming multiple bash configs, per
machine, that matches the existing patterns? I guess I could use ".
bashrc.android.sh", ugly but functional.

I don't consider this a workaround, but rather the correct way to handle
such personal preferences.

Since the shell is a full programming language, there are no limits in
what people will do with the startup scripts.
