Lets discuss the command ESC | (shell-command-on-region).
Execute string COMMAND in inferior shell with region as input.
Normally display output (if any) in temp buffer `*Shell Command Output*';
Prefix arg means replace the region with it. Return the exit code of
COMMAND.
If I want the output in the current buffer, I must accept the
sacrifice of my original input. How destructive. Why can't it also
be like
C-x C-e runs the command eval-last-sexp ...
Evaluate sexp before point; print value in minibuffer.
With argument, print output into current buffer.
Indeed both commands would ideally have both output options, ideally
controlled by the same argument values.
