No: I do M-x compile, visit a few error in xdisp.c.
Then an hour later, I do M-x grep, follow a hit, do a M-. which brings me
to xdisp.c, then try C-x ` to get to the next hit and !bang! I'm brought
to the next error in the compilation I completely forgot about.
The main problem with your approach is that its memory lasts too long.
