The current approach is simple, but unusable in real situations.
Imagine for example such a typical scenario:
1. Start compilation. The compilation buffer is displayed in
another window.
2. Type C-x `. A source file is visited in the same window.
3. Make a new frame.
4. Run grep or occur. A grep or occur buffer is displayed in
another window.
5. Type C-x `. A file found by grep or occur is visited in the same window.
6. Switch back to the initial frame. Buffers are displayed in the same
state as they were left - with two windows: one with the source buffer
and another with the compilation buffer, and the point in the source
buffer on the line with previous error.
7. Now type C-x `. What is the most expected behavior when the point
is located in the file visited by C-x ` is that next C-x ` will
find next errors in the same file.
But alas, the buffer is unexpectedly switched to some file which happens
to be the next found by last grep/occur. This is very confusing.
And even if the user can remember always to switch to the compilation
buffer before typing C-x ` to make it last, it is still too inconvenient.
