Will it got to the following error, > or will it move down until it finds an error I have not yet visited? That is exactly the distinction made by the compilation-skip-visited option. You can have one behaviour or the other. Now I understand. The doc string was not clear to me. I am now certain that setting compilation-skip-visited to t is NOT the right way to handle consecutive errors on one source line. It has other effects that I would not want. So compilation-skip-visited's default should remain nil, but we need another feature to recognize consecutive error messages on a single source line and disregard all but the first of them. Would you please implement that feature? There could be an option to disable it.
