Sure. prog-proc-mode is really just an experiment, and I'm quite open
to changes, both in terms of UI and implementation.

Fine.

FWIW under sml-mode, C-c C-c runs a "make"-like command (but it's
a command passed to the inferior process rather than being a separate
process like in M-x compile).

I think "send the current buffer" is not good enough, except for those
rare systems where a single file is all you need.

My memory failed me: if you look at the code, you'll see that
prog-proc-mode is not a minor mode but a major-mode, to be used as
parent mode (in place of prog-mode, from which it derives).
So major modes can very easily override those bindings.
But yes: we shouldn't use too many such bindings.
