If there is a real need to enable next-error-function in the existing
buffer visited by next-error (i.e. if it's not too rare case when the
user needs to kill a buffer and create a new, that may be inconvenient
if performed too often), then next-error-function could be enabled again
by setting it to the initial value by typing C-m or one of other error
visiting keys available in the next-error capable buffer.  When these
keys are bound to one of the following functions, each function could
set the initial value of next-error-function every time it called
in the next-error capable buffer:

compile-goto-error
diff-goto-source
occur-mode-goto-occurrence
