It could keep a list of likely candidates of the current file (instead
of just a single one) and pick among them when analyzing an error
message based on some criteria like "such a file exists", "it even looks
like that around the error location".  Basically pop the file name stack
lazily.

When I was still messing around with the code, it also helped making
AUCTeX more stupid at recognizing an actual filename beginning since the
detection of file name endings, being just ')', had to be stupid anyway,
and a stupid match at the beginning helped keeping parens matched (most
messages on the console _are_ written using matched parens).
