I do not understand the format of `compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist.
I can not find in the documentation how the first element in the entries
are used. Where is absoft, ada, aix etc used? If I want to add a new
entry to the alist for support of a new command what should this new
command output to match the names (absoft, ada etc)?
Am I missing something in the documentation?
Well, it's doc string says:
| Alist of values for `compilation-error-regexp-alist'
And if you click on the link in the *Help* buffer, that
variable's doc string says:
| Instead of an alist element, you can use a symbol, which is

So I think a new command should have its own symbol.
