[ELPA] New package: shell-command+

Hi,

I wanted to submit this package I wrote a while ago. It provides an
interactive command named "shell-command+", that is used in the same way
as one uses shell-command.

The difference is that shell-command+ pre-processes the user-input,
before passing it to shell-command or related functions. I think what it
does is best explained by the examples given in the commentary section:

        > wc -l
  
   Count all lines in a buffer, and display the result in the
   minibuffer.
  
  
        .. < ls -l
  
   Replace the current region (or buffer in no region is selected)
   with a directory listing of the parent directory.
  
  
        | tr -d a-z
  
   Delete all instances of the charachters a, b, c, ..., z, in the
   selected region (or buffer, if no region was selected).
  
  
        ... make
  
   Run Eshell's make (i.e. `compile') in the parent's parent
   directory.

I have previously submitted the package under the name "bang" to
MELPA[0], but have since decided that the name isn't expressive and
could therefore confuse users. This version also includes a few
improvements that I have not yet added to bang.

It should also be noted, that the file is currently licensed under the
CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication[1] license, which
I'm not sure if it is OK.
