I do not understand the format of

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:

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