You can generate any number of addresses you want using the master public key. Take a look at the code here:

but I suggest you wait for the 1.9 release because the script in 1.8.1 is broken.

  Any deadline yet?

soon

there is a "merchant script" for that.
I was not aware of such thing. Description is very tempting. Hope to see it soon.

You can create bulk addresses with bitaddress or vanitygen and import them into electrum.
This is an option but kind hassling. I'd rather skip it.

Does it mean there is no way to use Electrum as merchant? Or possibly any trick? When I looked into code I've seen CreateNewAddress method in the Wallet class.

you can also raise your "gap limit" parameter, but be sure to understand how to restore your wallet with it

I am trying to employ Electrum using shell console commands. In principle it works but for my big surprise I found missing "create new address" command.

Also "history" command output is far too minimalistic. In fact I could peek into the code and extend history output. But implementing create address failed as I'm not familiar with the internal architecture.

Would you brush up the set of console commands?

electrum does not have a "create new address" command.
it creates new addresses only when the existing are used.
this is a design choice: it ensures that the wallet can be restored deterministically from seed.
