I often run the command compile while visiting a dired buffer, but cannot jump to errors with M-g M-n as usual. This binding is a leftover from a time when M-g had a different global meaning. We should get rid of this binding, and move the command to another key. What would be a good binding for it? M-g f and M-g M-f, perhaps?
