Well, yes, of course. But I'd like to know how many times you've used
IELM against such kind of buffer...

Perhaps my experience is more limited, but I use IELM quite a lot, and
to me its usage pattern is mainly twofold: as a quick way to test some
elisp code (where it is more responsive/practical that a lot of M-: or
M-x eval-expression), and as an aid in developing elisp modules (and
then usually the .el buffer or a few temporary test buffers are the
target).

Anyway, I just proposed that because I find it useful. If I'm the only
one, I can always do

(add-hook 'ielm-mode-hook
	  '(lambda ()
	      (setq mode-line-process
                    '(":" (:eval (buffer-name ielm-working-buffer))))))

on my .emacs :)
