As long as the command is called `next-error', it is ok to call some related thing `next-error-highlight'. Even the name `compilation-highlight-duration' can't be objected to, given that the function that would use it is called `compilation-goto-locus'. We might consider a change in all these names, but that is a separate issue. There is no need to hold up this little feature for that. ISTR that we already discussed some other feature for highlighting the source code line. What is actually installed now?
