Subject: Re: Add M-x occur to the menu-bar

I follow the behavior of compile.el, which is:
- is the current buffer usable? if yes, use it
- else, if we were given a usable buffer, use that
Could you say more precisely what "given" means, here?
Do you by any chance mean next-error-last-buffer?
If so, what is the user-level behavior caused by this? Practically
speaking, if the user has done M-x compile and M-x occur, does this
get the compilation buffer or the occur buffer? What criteria
control this choice?
- else, look through all the buffer for a usable buffer
If there is more than one usable buffer, which one do you use?
Is it the compilation buffer, or the occur buffer?
That is a very important question, for usability. The decision must
not be left to chance. It needs to be made intentionally, and we need
to verify users are happy with the decision.
