I don't have any opinion about the proced parts (since I don't use 
proced), but `signal-process' for remote processes will definitely be 
useful. That will eliminate the need for a workaround I added in 
Eshell's handling of SIGPIPE; when passing a SIGPIPE along to a remote 
process, we previously had to use `delete-process' as a reasonable 
facsimile (see commit 9df5e3080066341d78489f0b18eabeeccac76b0c).
