In compilation-mode buffers (e.g. grep-mode), the `mouse-face' property is
hard-coded to use the `highlight' face. This hard-coding makes it hard for a
user to use a different `mouse-face' in these buffers.
Could we instead use a new face as the `mouse-face' property value in these
buffers, so that users can easily customize the face to be used for
mouseover highlighting there? Currently, one can only customize the
`highlight' face, which affects all buffers.
This change should only require:
1) adding a new face (defface), say `compilation-mouseover'
2) replacing `highlight' by `compilation-mouseover' in `compile.el'
The `highlight' face could still be used to define the initial value of the
new face.
(Why bother to have a `mouse-face' text property that can have different
values, if it is going to be hardcoded here and there?)

Yes, like everywhere else I've seen.

I guess there was no good reason to hardcode it at a lower level.
