Every once in a while someone comes up on gnu.emacs.help saying
that she started some compilation with M-x compile and the compilation
prompted the user for some input (a password, for example) and she
wants to know how to send that input to the process.
If we can make M-x compile use comint, then such problems won't show up.
tex-mode already uses a `tex-shell' (which derives from M-x shell) so that
the user can interact with the subprocess, so there is clearly a need
in some (arguably unusual) cases for interaction.

PS: I seem to remember a post on gnu.emacs.sources "recently" (i.e. in 2001)
which provided such a "compile on comint" thingy.
