Sounds useful.  I sometimes grep to find matches, then move around.
Currently I would search for the same pattern, having a command would be
helpful.

To be clear: the commands would jumpt to the next (or previous) quickfix
entry relative to the cursor position.

For the command names: how about :cabove and :cbelow ?
I find "cfnext" cryptic, it's too much like ":cnext" and can be confused
with "cnfile"
