Sorry, missed this message previously.

I don't have a strong opinion on this, but seems like it would conflate the
"quit" action (what we want the command to do in this case) with the
"delete" action (which what the binding might imply).
Yep, like the prefix argument KILL in quit-window.

Right, so it appears we don't have any suitable precedent, and either way could imply something we don't want it to.

I think C-u RET is probably fine, especially if we add a change like you described to compile-goto-error as well. But if anyone wanted to propose some other alternative, they're welcome to.
