Yeah, I did make all conclusions on the assumption that next-error is
more usable then goto-line. If that assumption fails, so do all the
conclusions I made ;)
Apart from programming-like stuff, I really cannot imagine lots of
examples that really need goto-line. And what I can imagine, it can
be automated, or it resembles programming a lot (like TeX/dvi).
next-error is not used only for programming (eg. po-mode for
translating program UIs via gettext PO files also makes use of it, and
it has nothing to do with programming).

I still cannot imagine a real world example where such a thing would
be _commonly_ used, but I'll blame my programming-deviation on that. ;)
I think I'll ease on the spamming of emacs-devel for a while :)
Cheers,
