comint-terminfo-terminal affects async-shell-command, why not this?
Ugh! A mistake, IMNSHO. But that ship sailed a long time ago, so we
cannot fix the mistake. We can avoid enlarging the mistake, though.
If the fact that the variable is in comint is the problem, I can rename it and
move it elsewhere.
I don't think functions that are almost primitives should pay
attention to application-level features such as this one.
FWIW async-shell-command's behavior is affected by a bunch of other
comint-* variables as well because it uses a major mode which inherits
from comint-mode (previously it was shell-mode, now shell-command-mode,
but that aspect didn't change).
