Thanks, but I think the documentation that accompanies these changes
should be augmented/improved:
. next-error-select-buffer should be documented in the Emacs manual
. the doc string of next-error-select-buffer should be expanded to
explain the effect of selecting a buffer. The current text is
quite cryptic, IMO: "set it as the last used." The meaning of
"last used" in this context should be explained.
. next-error-find-buffer-function should perhaps be mentioned in the
Emacs manual and/or the ELisp manual.
. the doc string of next-error-find-buffer-function should describe
the arguments with which it is called, what possible values it can
return, and the meaning of each returned value.
TIA
