[Idle-dev] Startup Shell Functionality

I added a new script, "idles", which causes a Python Shell to open instead of
the default editor window you get when you use "idle".
<idle> opens an empty editor window
<idle foo.py> opens an editor window for foo.py
<idles> opens a shell
<idles -e foo.py> opens a shell and an editor window for foo.py
<idles foo.py> executes foo.py in shell before printing prompt
The last behaviour is questionable, per GvR.
Should it exit, or edit foo.py?
It may be that a better name than "idles" can be found. I chose that because
it was short. Suggestions welcomed!
