Done.

> 2. `shell-command-default-error-buffer': Make it a user option.

Not sure it's necessary.

> 3. In general, orient the doc a bit more toward interactive use.

Upon reading the doc string, it already is: the entire first part of
it is specifically about interactive invocations.  If you have more
specific suggestions, let's hear them.

> 4. Also, some lines in the doc string are too long (but not by much: 74
>    chars max instead of 70).

I don't see how this can be helped, as those lines generally reference
symbols with long names.
