Re: current compile.el issues

[Richard Stallman]

     * I think `compilation-context-lines' should default to 0, per
       previous behaviour.  That way you can tell what the current error
       line is.

I changed that myself just now.

     * I find the highlighting of output files distracting when looking
       for errors in the output, but `compilation-mode-font-lock-keywords'
       isn't customizable to turn it off.

I think we agreed that the solution for this is that enabling or
disabling Font Lock mode should turn the faces on and off, but the use
of the font-lock mechanism to put on the other properties should
continue either way.

Would someone like to implement that?
