And without body there is no way to add a docstring.

Ah, before arriving to the function without body I mistakenly tried #'identity
(that didn't work) whereas I actually intended to try #'ignore.

But the question that I really don't understand is what to do with the function
next-error-buffer-on-selected-frame that now will have no reference in code,
no use by default.  How the users are supposed to know that it's possible
to put add-function with this function in the init file?  Should we document
this in the docstring of next-error-buffer-on-selected-frame or the docstring
of next-error-find-buffer-function together with examples of using add-function?
