We already have that, it's compilation-minor-mode.
Looking at the code for compilation-minor-mode (as I'm inexperienced with
it), I see no connection with what I suggested. That mode appears to work
only in buffers that can be parsed to work with next-error etc.
What I suggested was a simple command to pick up a numeral from any buffer,
regardless of what the numeral might mean in that buffer. It would be
rudimentary, but would do at least what people are doing with `goto-line',
without requiring them to key in the line number. A minor suggestion -
that's all.
