Hmm, well I of course use `C-x C-p' for previous-error, but I see that the
default binding is `mark-page'; is that a widely used command (I don't
think I use any page commands at all, except for forward/backward-page)?

I think that next/previous-error are quite widely used (not just
compilation, but grep, etc. also), and so deserve rather easy-to-type
bindings.
