By default emacs will continue to don't compile files automatically. I understand that. But it seems like such a dangerous way of doing things that even offering it as an option seems like a bad idea. This is the kind of thing that can be a minor convenience 95% of the time, and a real screw 50% of the time. We should not invite people to do this.
