If you look at the way next-error operates, it just binds functions as
needed in each mode that supports it.  So your code could just bind the
appropriate compilation-mode functions to go to the next/previous
compilation error; doing it in shell-mode should not have any major
consequences because it does not support next-error already AFAIK.
