I think it would be great.  In Flycheck we have to save a copy of the buffer, and tweak byte-compile-dest-file-function to create a temporary output file, too.  If both of these could go it would be awesome.

I think you could even make byte-compile-buffer return a other buffer with the ELC contents, and then byte-compile-file could be trivially implemented in terms of that.
