I'd like `next-error' and `previous-error' bound, if that's OK with you.
They can take a numeric argument to indicate how far to move in either
direction. That would be useful either way, right?
Absolute jumps definitely have their uses, so I think Andrey's proposal
is a good addition. But it could just be a call to `next-error-function'
with the RESET parameter (which just means "go to (point-min) before
applying the numeric argument"); it doesn't need special machinery. I
can implement that if you agree; it's not much work.
