We have planned to add an option to control the creation of multiple
output buffers for `async-shell-command'. The question is in its
default value. Maybe it should ask a question: "Create a new buffer?"
Or better would be to ask for a new buffer name:
Async shell buffer (default *Async shell*<2>):
like `C-u M-x shell RET' already does:
Shell buffer (default *shell*<2>):
