That's not the intention, the proposed tool-bar is just for the
compilation buffer.

Disagree. I spend a fair amount of time in the *grep* buffer, finding
the exact thing I was looking for. The same is true for compilation,
some tools produce hard to understand errors, so one needs to stair at
them for a bit to figure out what is going on.
