It would be helpful, but it doesn't seem like `next-error' was designed
with this in mind. After all, xref--next-error-function does move point,
and that doesn't help (probably because it's called inside
with-current-buffer, see next-error-internal).
Wrapping xref--next-error-function's definition in
(with-selected-window (get-buffer-window xref-buffer-name)
...)
does help, but that seems silly.

No special face, these are just unadorned buffer-substring values: the
ones that have faces applied, are from buffer areas that had been
touched by font-lock, the others hadn't. We could remove faces from all
lines for consistency, but seeing them on at least some results is nice.

Not sure how to introduce that feature into the API in a generic
fashion. Perhaps if we decided that the "summary" of each xref-match
instance is always defined by the buffer contents?
Having match-xrefs use a distinct structure from "normal" xrefs seems
appropriate, but to fully go this way, I think we'll need the
find-buffer-delayed feature first
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-08/msg00060.html).
Because then we couldn't afford to have the location buffers closed (or
reopen them all) when the xref buffer is rendered.
