Support cmd2 in xonsh shell #1533

Hey!
What do you think about implementing cmd2 support for xonsh shell?

Xonsh supports python-toolkit (default) and readline:

python -m pip install 'xonsh[full]'
xonsh # prompt-toolkit by default
xonsh --shell-type readline  # try readline (less features)

Because of xonsh has modular structure cmd2 support can be implemented as base shell or as a xontrib (plugin).

Personally I'm using python-toolkit very long time and feel the lack of fresh energy and implementing modern features that cmd2 seems to have. I think xonsh is the place where prompt engine can fully unlock their potential. So I'm requesting xonsh shell support here.
