I understand though am diaappointed.  I'd argue my muscle
memory would be improved if I didn't have to remember three
different sets of some these similar bindings.  And of
course existing users are able to rebind them if they wish
and are certainly more able to do so than new users.  But
this argument has been made before.

FWIW I do the following:

(with-eval-after-load 'grep-mode
  (define-key grep-mode-map (kbd "o") #'compile-goto-error)
  (define-key grep-mode-map (kbd "C-o") #'compilation-display-error))

I think adding these binding to emacs wouldn't break
any muscle memory and would unify at least two categories.

I'd also love to see one common way of entering wdired,
occur-edit and wgrep.  The burden of maintaining this muscle
memory is IMHO silly.
