The documentation for the variable compilation-error-regexp-alist (in
compile.el)
says that the FILE parameter can also be a function that should return
the filename. That is however not possible. Instead, the variable
 compilation-parse-errors-filename-function can be set to a function that
yields the desired effect. It would be nice to have this documented in the
description of the first variable.
