(info "(eshell) Top") says

    [Eshell] is intended to be an alternative to the IELM REPL for Emacs
    and with an interface similar to command shells ...

The functionality of setting a working buffer would be for when Eshell
is being used as an alternative to IELM, and it would have the same
semantics as the equivalent functionality in IELM.

I agree that when Eshell is being used as a command shell the only
significant thing would be default-directory.

Eshell is a shell.  What is the semantics of running a shell in a
buffer?  The only semantics I can think of is to run the shell in the
default-directory of that buffer.

No, not what I had in mind.

In IELM you can type C-c C-b and select a buffer, and then when you eval
further sexps in *ielm*, it will be as if you used M-: with that other
buffer selected.  Useful for debugging a major or minor mode.

In Eshell the closest thing you can do is wrap your sexps in a
(with-current-buffer) form, or use (progn (set-buffer ...) ...), which
is less convenient.

Like "C-u M-x eshell RET"?

If that's not what you wanted, then perhaps I don't quite understand
what you meant by running Eshell in another buffer.

Hello,

Eshell's docs advertise it as a replacement for IELM, but one IELM
feature that Eshell doesn't have is an equivalent to C-c C-b, or,
ielm-change-working-buffer.  It would be great to have something like
this.
