Not sure whether this is eligible for Emacs 29, and whether this is
an oversight or intention.

The functions

  comint-next-prompt
  comint-previous-prompt
  sgml-skip-tag-forward
  sgml-skip-tag-backward

all lack/could need a leading "^" (circumflex) in their interactive
specification to mark them so that they can be used with shift
translation.

If I should provide patch(es) for that, please let me know on what
version.
