I'm not opposed to adding this as a future option, but I don't want to
complicate the intentionally simple interface to next-error (set
next-error-function and next-error-last-buffer, that's it). I think a
list of buffers would complicate life for users and developers alike,
without adding much functionality. It would be especially bad for
backward compatibility, which RMS insists on.
There's a misunderstanding here. I am not saying this change must be
entirely "backward compatibility". The intended feature, making
next-error handle Occur buffers, is an incompatible change, but that
is ok.
Rather, the point is to get the behavior for choice of buffers
that will *seem right and convenient to the user*.
Someone pointed out that the stack idea might not really offer much
benefit, though.
