I tried M-x multi-occur-in-matching-buffers.
First, it does not provide a default for the file name regexp.
I think it would be nice if it used the same logic as M-x rgrep.
Second, it uses the file name regexp as the default search regexp.
This is not a very good default. Again, following rgrep and using the
word under point would be better.
Finally, multi-occur-in-matching-buffers asks for the file name regexp
first and the search regexp second; whereas rgrep and lrgrep do this in
the other order. I think it would be nice if they were all consistent.

Yes, the rgrep defaults seem more intuitive... but
multi-occur-in-matching-buffers is part of the "Occur" framework and
works more like those functions.

It would, but I don't think this is possible at this date -- the command
in question is at least a decade old. So I'm closing this bug report.

How about adding a new command that works better?

My feeling is that rgrep has us pretty much covered -- this occur
command isn't really that vital...
