With the goal to improve configurability of the rules for finding
an appropriate compilation buffer this is really an improvement.
But with a list of rules suggested by Ted, there will be no need
in a special variable for user-defined function.

It seems this behavior will satisfy most users.
BTW, there is one related inconvenience in the compilation functionality:
when there is the compilation window on another frame, starting compilation
places another frame over the current frame, but doesn't make it active.
This is because in the function `compilation-start' the `frame' argument
of `display-buffer' is `t':
(display-buffer outbuf nil t)
^--- consider windows on all frames
Why should compilation insist on switching frames? Shouldn't
`display-buffer-reuse-frames' define the user preference instead?
So I think `display-buffer' should use the default values:
diff -u emacs/lisp/progmodes/compile.el~ emacs/lisp/progmodes/compile.el
