No, set-process-buffer actually changes the _associated_ buffer.
That is the buffer that when killed, kills the process as well. It
is the buffer in which get-buffer-process might return the buffer.
It incidentally is also the _default_ location where output arrives
in case we have no filter function.
What I proposed was intended to redirect output (possibly just on one
file descriptor of stdout and stderr) to a potentially _different_
buffer.
